Question

Solve the following proportion for v. 8/5 = v/6 Round your answer to the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$v=\frac{48}{5}=9\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{5}=\frac{v}{6}$

Swap sides:

$\frac{v}{6}=\frac{8}{5}$

Multiply to both sides by 6:

$\frac{v}{6}\cdot6=\frac{8}{5}\cdot6$

Group like terms:

$\frac{1}{6}\cdot6v=\frac{8}{5}\cdot6$

Simplify the fraction:

$v=\frac{8}{5}\cdot6$

Multiply the fractions

$v=\frac{8\cdot6}{5}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$v=\frac{48}{5}$
