Question

What is the value of n in the equation five-sixths equals n divided by five plus one-half?

n equals one-fifteenth
n equals three-fifths
n equals one and two-thirds
n equals 5

Answer 1

Again, 5/6 = n/5 + 1/2 -- subtract 1/2 from both sides
5/6 - 1/2 = n/5
5/6 - 3/6 = n/5
1/3 = n/5 -- multiply both sides by 5
1/3(5) = n
5/3 = n
1 2/3 = n
