Question

Gabriel wants to solve the equation 5/8m = 25. What step should he do to get m by itself on one side of the equation?

Answer 1

Well I would try to get m by itself 

Answer 2

If your question is like this
$\frac{5}{8m} =25$

then first you should reverse the sides, right to left, left to right
$25= \frac{5}{8m}$

Move 8m to the left side. Because in the right side 8m is denominator, after moved to the left side it become the numerator
$25(8m)=5$

Simplify
$200m = 5$

Move 200 to the right side. Because in the left side 200 is numerator, after moved to the right side it become the denominator
$m = \frac{5}{200}$
