2 3/5 = 6c
13/5= 6
You said to divide both sides by six can you show me an example please?
Thanks!
1/2=14x
to solve for x, divide both sides by 14
1/28=x
dividing by 6 is the same thing as multiplying both sides by 1/6
Sure! Let's go through an example to understand how to solve the equation 2 3/5 = 6c.
Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. In this case, 2 3/5 can be written as (2 * 5 + 3) / 5 = 13/5.
So, the equation becomes: 13/5 = 6c.
Step 2: To solve for c, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of c, which is 6.
13/5 divided by 6 = (13/5) / 6 = 13/5 * 1/6 = 13/30.
So, the equation simplifies to: c = 13/30.
This means that the value of c that satisfies the equation is 13/30.
I hope this example helps clarify the process of solving the equation! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
