Question

If w = 9, x = 10, and y = 3, what does 6x over 5y equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we first need to apply what we know (the value of the variables that have been given to us, for example, x = 10) to the equation. *Take note that there is no w variable in the problem given to us, so that info is only there to confuse us*

It'll look something like this:

$\frac{6x}{5y} = ?$

$\frac{6 (10)}{5 (3)} = ?$

Now that we've applied the values we know, we can just solve as is (which is going to be multiplying the top and bottom values together). In other words, it'll be like this now:

$\frac{60}{15}$

Since this is an improper fraction (meaning the numerator is larger than the denominator) we need to simply, which can be done by dividing (since fractions basically mean division). So 60 ÷ 15 is the last step.

$\frac{60}{15} = 4$

Hope that wasn't too complicated. Have a great day <3

Answer 2

Answer:

6x = 6 (10) => 60

5y = 5 (3) => 15

$\frac{6x}{5y} = > \frac{60}{15} = > 4$

hope that helps uhh!!
