Answer 3

\[\dfrac{2}{2.5} = \dfrac{3}{w}\]Do cross multiply. \[2w = 7.5\]\[w = \dfrac{7.5}{2} = \boxed{3.75}\]

Is this clear? Can you find the value of v?

Answer 4

Yes that's clear! So would v be 4.24?

Answer 5

Close, it's 4.16. \[\dfrac{2}{2.5} = \dfrac{v}{5.2} \Rightarrow v = \dfrac{2\times 5.2}{2.5}\]

Answer 6

Ohhh okay thank you so much!
