L = 3in w= 5 in and 3in find w?

Answer 1

\[5/3=3/x\] Cross multiply to get \[5x = 9\] solve for x to get 9/5

5X 3 = 15
= 3x = 15/ 3
= x = 5

Answer 3

Answer 5

No, it would look like this:
5/3=3/x
you first multiply the 5 on the top left with the x on the bottom right.
then multiply the 3 on the bottom left with the 3 on the bottom right

Answer 6

then you would have 5x=9
can you solve from there?
