Question

What is the answer to 3/5q=1

Answer 1

3/5q = 1 Given

(3/5) 3/5q = 1(3/5) Multiply each side by 3/5 (Mult. Prop. of Equal)

q = 3/5 Simplify

Answer 2

3/5q = 1

you want to move the 3/5 to the other side by equalizing both sides. Multiply both sides by 5/3

5/3 * 3/5q = 1 *5/3

5/3 cancels out 3/5 on the left side of the equation

1*5/3 = 5/3 on the right side of the equation

you're left with::::

q=5/3 OR q=1.667
