Solve for the unknown:
8/52=m/39
I've already helped you in your post on Sunday, August 24, 2008 at 10:40am. Please try to do the problem and post your work if you are still having trouble it.
One way to solve this problem is by cross multiplication.
8/52=m/39
52m = 312
m = ??
I would like to thank you for your help this morning, I really do appreciate it.
You must think I am lazy, but I am not.
I have been doing math for about 2 days straight, i have been reading the materials and doing all the practices, and checkpoints, I just was having a few problems that I just could not understand, so thanks again for the help.

To solve for the unknown variable "m" in the equation 8/52 = m/39, we can cross-multiply and then solve for "m."
Here's how to do it step by step:
Step 1: Cross-multiply
8 * 39 = 52 * m
Step 2: Multiply the numbers on each side of the equation
312 = 52m
Step 3: Solve for "m"
Divide both sides of the equation by 52
312 / 52 = m
m = 6
So, the unknown variable "m" in the equation 8/52 = m/39 is equal to 6.
