Question

Solve the proportion 5/3c=1/6

Answer 1

Answer:C= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1.cross multiply and you get 3c=30

2.divide both sides by 3 and you get c=10

Answer 2

Answer:

$c=\frac{1}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the trick is to make the number before c = 1.

How do we do that?

We multiply the fraction by it's reciprocal, which is 3/5.

However, we also have to do the same thing to the other side of the equation.

Answering the problem will look like this:

$\frac{5}{3} c=\frac{1}{6}\\\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{3}c=\frac{1}{6}*\frac{3}{5}\\\frac{3*5}{5*3}c=\frac{1*3}{6*5}\\\frac{15}{15}c=\frac{3}{30}\\c=\frac{1}{10}$

So $\frac{1}{10}$ is our answer!
