If 8/14=4/d, what is the value of d?
8/14=4/d
Cross multiply and solve for d.
8d = 56
d = ?
Look at the question. This question belongs from linear equation. Then do cross multiply and get solution for 'd'. 8d=56 or, d=56/8 or, d=7 then d=7 is the answer of your question.
To find the value of d in the equation 8/14 = 4/d, we can use cross multiplication. Cross multiplication is a method used to solve equations involving fractions.
First, multiply the numerator of the first fraction (8) by the denominator of the second fraction (d). This gives us 8d.
Next, multiply the numerator of the second fraction (4) by the denominator of the first fraction (14). This gives us 4*14 = 56.
Now, we can set up an equation using the results of the cross multiplication:
8d = 56
To solve for d, we need to isolate the variable. Since 8 is multiplied by d, we can undo this operation by dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
8d/8 = 56/8
This simplifies to:
d = 7
Therefore, the value of d is 7.
