1/15 =3/5m
For my answer, I put m= 1/5
Is that correct?
Apparently you didn't check your answer by substitution.
(3/5) * (1/5) - 3/25
Oops -- 3/25 is not 1/5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1/15 =3/5m
(1/15) / (3/5) = m
(1/15) * (5/3) = m
5/45 = 1/9 = m
Thanks
You're welcome.
To solve the equation 1/15 = 3/5m, we need to isolate the variable m on one side of the equation. You can follow these steps:
1. Cross multiply: Multiply the numerator of the fraction on the left side (1) by the denominator of the fraction on the right side (5m), and multiply the numerator of the fraction on the right side (3) by the denominator of the fraction on the left side (15). This gives us: 1 * 5m = 3 * 15.
Simplifying, we get: 5m = 45.
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate m. This gives us: (5m)/5 = 45/5.
Simplifying further, we have: m = 9.
Therefore, m = 9 is the correct solution to the equation 1/15 = 3/5m.
