Hi,
Im having trouble with this math equation.. if you can, can you please help me and explain.
the equation is : 3/7d=5/4
You have to find the solution.
Thank you
Is it (3/7)d or 3 divided by 7d?
If the latter, multiply both sides by d
3/7 = (5/4)d
Multiply both sides by 4/5.
d = 3/7 * 4/5 = 12/35
If the former,
Multiply both sides by 7/3
d = 7/3 * 5/4 = ?
It might seem as a division sign but it was meant as a fraction
is the answer 5/6
@PsyDAG
5/6 is a fraction. And the symbol / means divide.
5 divided by 6 = 5/6 = 0.83333
The answer is either 12/35 or 35/12, depending on which version of the problem is correct. Neither one reduces to 5/6.
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with that math equation!
To solve the equation 3/7d = 5/4, we need to isolate the variable d. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Cross-multiply
To eliminate the fractions, we can cross-multiply by multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction, and vice versa.
(3/7d) * (4/1) = (5/4) * (7/1)
12/7d = 35/4
Step 2: Solve for d
To get d by itself, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 12/7.
(12/7d) * (7/12) = (35/4) * (7/12)
1d = 35/48
Simplifying the right side, the final solution is:
d = 35/48
So, the solution to the equation 3/7d = 5/4 is d = 35/48.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
