Question

Can someone help me solve this before I quit math

Answer 1

M=9

(I sweAr on my life this is right lol)

Answer 2

hello! the answer to your question would be m = 9.

alright, so to solve this problem, and problems like it is pretty easy (i feel you 100% on the quitting math thing though) all you need to do is cross multiply.

so, here is your equation:

$\frac{38}{3} = \frac{114}{m}$

so multiply 38(m) and 114(3),

38m = 114(3)

38m = 342

now, isolate "m" by dividing both sides by 38

38/38m = 342/38

m = 9

if you want to double check your answer: remember that fractions are basically just the numerator (top number) divided by the denominator (bottom number) and since there is an equals sign in the two equations, we know that they're equal, so if we divide the numerator by the denominator and they equal the same thing, we know our answer is right.

38/3 = 12$\frac{2}{3}$

114/9 = 12$\frac{2}{3}$

so, since they both equal 12$\frac{2}{3}$ we know our answer is right.

hope this helps, and have a great day!
