Help really quick pleaseee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8/9 = m/72 does m = 1?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

no, you need to multiply 72 both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then what? Can we work this out together? Im awful at math

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sure :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \frac{8}{9} = \frac{m}{72}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since we are interested in m, we need to isolate it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so we multiply wid 72 both sides

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 72 \times \frac{8}{9} = 72 \times \frac{m}{72}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 72 \times \frac{8}{9} = \cancel{72} \times \frac{m}{\cancel{72}}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 72 \times \frac{8}{9} = m \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if u can simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright give me a sec

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

take ur time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\color{red}{\checkmark}\)
