Question

Find the value of m . 35/50 = m/10 m = ___.

Answer 1

First, cross multiply

35 * m = 50 * 10

35m = 500

Then, Divide both sides by 35

m = 500 / 35

m = 14$\frac{2}{7}$ or 14.29

Answer 2

$\frac{35}{50}=\frac{m}{10}$   Multiple 10 on both sides to get m by itself

$(10)\frac{35}{50}=\frac{m}{10}(10)$

$\frac{350}{50}=m$  Simplify

7 = m
