Question

What value of B will make the product equal of 17 in the following expression: 17xb/7

Answer 1

The value B is 7. If we apply B=7 the answer is 17 for the expression 17×$\frac{b}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

            The given expression is 17×$\frac{b}{7}$  

Step:1

            Form an equation from given data,

            17×$\frac{b}{7}$= 17..............................(1)

                                                         (∵ product equal to 17)

Step:2

            Check for alternatives by apply the value of B in eqn (1)

            Assume be value of B for check the equation

            B=1

            Equation becomes,

            17×$\frac{1}{7}$ = 2.4286 ≠ 17

            Take, B=2,

            17×$\frac{2}{7}$ = 4.8571 ≠ 17

            Take, B=3,

            17×$\frac{3}{7}$ = 7.2857 ≠ 17

similarly,

            B=7,

            17×$\frac{7}{7}$ = 17                       (∵ The product equals to 17)

Result:

         So, the answer for B is 7.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question value of b is 7 .

Method :

In the question  Product of the expression is given that is . 17.

and the expression given is -

   ⇒ 17 × b/7

With the given information the equation formed will be  -

  ⇒ 17 × b/7 = 17      ..........(1)

  Now solving the equation 1  -

 ⇒ b/7 = 17/17

⇒  b = 7 × 1

 ⇒  b = 7  

The value of the b is 7 . Value of b = 7 satisfies the condition of the product 17.
