Question

Solve the equation. Then check your solution. 5/9d = 9/10

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=1.62$

The equation is TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equation:

$\frac{5}{9}d=\frac{9}{10}$

You need to find the value of the variable "d". You can apply this procedure:

- Multiply both sides of the equation by 9:

$(9)(\frac{5}{9}d)=(\frac{9}{10})(9)\\\\5d=\frac{81}{10}\\\\5d=8.1$

- Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

$\frac{5d}{5}=\frac{8.1}{5}\\\\d=1.62$

Check the solution substituting the value of "d" into the equation and evaluating:

$\frac{5}{9}(1.62)=\frac{9}{10}\\\\0.9=0.9\ (TRUE)$
