M times 2/3 equals 1 - 13/15
4r - 10r + 24
I guess you want to find what M is?
M * 2/3 = 1 - 13/15
M = 3/2 * 2/15
M = 2*3/2*3*5
M = 1/5
To solve the equation "M times 2/3 equals 1 - 13/15," we need to isolate the variable "M" on one side of the equation.
To begin, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
1 - 13/15 = (15/15) - (13/15) = 15/15 - 13/15 = 2/15
Now, the equation becomes:
M * (2/3) = 2/15
To isolate the variable "M," we'll divide both sides of the equation by 2/3:
(M * (2/3)) / (2/3) = (2/15) / (2/3)
When we divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
M = (2/15) * (3/2)
Next, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
M = (2 * 3) / (15 * 2)
Simplifying further, we have:
M = 6/30
Since 6/30 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (which is 6), we get:
M = 1/5
Therefore, the value of M in the equation is 1/5.
