Solve this equation and check answer
Fraction→n/56=8
Multiply both sides by 56
n = 440
n/56=8
Multiply side by 56
56(n/56) =56(8)
n = 448
To solve the equation "n/56 = 8" for n, you need to isolate the variable n on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do that:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 56 to get rid of the fraction:
(n/56) * 56 = 8 * 56
This simplifies to:
n = 448.
Therefore, the value of n that satisfies the equation is 448.
To check this solution, substitute the value of n into the original equation and see if both sides of the equation are equal:
n/56 = 8
Substituting n = 448:
448/56 = 8
This simplifies to:
8 = 8.
Since both sides of the equation are equal, we can conclude that the solution n = 448 is correct.
