Question

How do you solve 2/3=m/42

Answer 1

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{m}{42} \\ \\ \frac{2}{3} \times 42 = m \ / \ multiply \ each \ side \ by \ 42 \\ \\ \frac{84}{3} = m \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 28 = m \ / \ simplify \\ \\ m = 28 \ / \ change \ sides$

The final result is m = 28.

Answer 2

2/3 = m/42

m/42 = 2/3
*42       *42

2/3 * 42/1 = 84/3 = 28

m = 28

Answer: m = 28
