How do you solve 6/15=2/c

Mathematics

You cross multiply so you get 15 x 2= 6 x c
this is 30= 6c. if you divide both sides by 6 you get c =5

Solve

\mathsf{\dfrac{6}{15}=\dfrac{2}{c}}


Multiplying both sides by 15:

\mathsf{\diagup\!\!\!\!\! 15\cdot \dfrac{6}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\! 15}=15\cdot \dfrac{2}{c}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{6=\dfrac{30}{c}}


Since \mathsf{c} is a denominator of a fraction, it can't be zero. Then, you can also multiply both sides by \mathsf{c}:

\mathsf{6\cdot c=\dfrac{30}{\diagup\!\!\!\! c}\cdot \diagup\!\!\!\! c}\\\\\\ \mathsf{6\cdot c=30}\\\\\\ \mathsf{c=\dfrac{30}{6}}\\\\\\ \boxed{\begin{array}{l} \mathsf{c=5} \end{array}}\qquad\checkmark


Cross-multiplication works fine as well and you would get to the same result.


I hope this helps. :-)

Why do whole numbers with an exponent get bigger while fractions with an exponent get smaller.
ohaa [14]

Raising a whole number to a power means: 

             Take (a number of things) a number of times, and then possibly
             take that big number of things a number of times again.

Raising a fraction to an exponent means: 

             Take a piece of (a piece of one thing), and then possibly
              take just a piece of that smaller piece.

Can you all please help me with problems 6 through 10? Please don’t use for points I’m extremely stressed and need help
patriot [66]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

6.) (5)/6 ≤ 1 (Yes)

7.) 1.4(11) > 16

    15.4 > 16 (No)

8.) 11.1 + 9.8 ≥ 21.01

    20.9 ≥ 21.01 (No)

9.) 2.5 < (90)/30

    2.5 < 3 (Yes)

10.) 1/2 > 3(1/6)

      1/2 > 1/2 (No)

11.) 2.16 ≥ 3(0.6) - 0.5

     2.16 ≥ 1.8 - 0.5

     2.16 ≥ 1.3 (Yes)

12.) x < 2 (x is less than 2.)

13.) x ≥ -1 (x is greater than or equal to -1.)

A man bought a horse and carriage for $500 paying three times as much for the carriage as for the horse how much did each cost
Lorico [155]
Hello! So, in order to solve this question, we should do 500/4. 500/4 = 125. Multiply 125 by 3 and you get 375. The horse costs $125 and the carriage costs $375.
