What does 5/7c=13/14 equal

Mathematics

To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.

5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c

13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5

Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70

Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.

So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.

Hope this helps :)

Write an equation passing through the point and perpendicular to the given line: (-3,5);y = 3/4x-4
balandron [24]

Hey!

So the first thing we realize is that it says that the equation is perpendicular to the line, meaning that the slope of the line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line you are given. Since we are given the slope of this line as 3/4 we can take the negative reciprocal of this to get -(4/3).

Now that we have the slope and a point on the line you can plug those into the equation y = mx + b to find b. The slope of the line is m and the point contains the x and y values.

5 = -(4/3)(-3) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can plug that into the slope-intercept form equation to get the equation we need:

y = -(4/3)x + 1

Write a linear equation from the ordered pair (-2,8)
OlgaM077 [116]
The equation of a line that goes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)

so, given the point (-2,8)
x1=-2
y1=8

y-8=m(x-(-2))
y-8=m(x+2)
the equation is y-8=m(x+2) where m is the slope
or you could rewrite it to get y=mx+2m+8

There are 4 semi-trailer trucks parked in a line at the rest stop. After the first truck, each truck in the line weighs 2 tons m
Neko [114]
So we start off with what 4 numbers added together equal 32.
first truck 5 tons
second truck 7 tons
third truck 9 tons
and fourth truck 11.

5 + 7 + 9 + 11


5+7= 12 +9 = 21+11= 32.
