Question

11/n = 8/5 solve for n

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\pink{n = 7 \frac{3}{8} }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{11}{n} = \frac{8}{5}$

Use cross multiplication

$11 \times 5 = 8 \times n \\ 55 = 8n \\ \frac{55}{8} = \frac{8n}{8} \\ n = 7 \frac{3}{8}$

Answer 2

Answer:

n = 55/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve it by cross multiplying. Where you multiply the denominator of the fraction on the left side with the numerator on the right side, and vice versa.

11/n = 8/5

n x 8 = 11 x 5

8n = 55

n = 55/8

(or 6.875)
