Chris is incorrect. To check the answer, replace m with 8 and simplify the left side. So m/6 turns into 8/6 which converts to the decimal value 1.333 (use a calculator)

Therefore the original equation m/6 = 48 becomes 1.333 = 48 after you plug in m = 8 and simplify fully. The two sides of 1.333 = 48 are not the same, so m = 8 is not the solution.

--------------------

The solution is actually 288 and we can prove it so like this

m/6 = 48

288/6 = 48 .... replace m with 288

48 = 48 .... use a calculator to compute 288/6

So the solution m = 288 is confirmed

------------------

How did I get this answer? By multiplying both sides by 6

m/6 = 48

6*(m/6) = 6*48 ..... multiply both sides by 6

m = 288

So Chris mistakenly divided both sides by 6, which explains how he got 48/6 = 8 as the solution. Instead he should have multiplied both sides by 6. This is to undo the operation "divide by 6" that is being applied to m in the original equation.
