11/8b=33

Question

11/8b=33

anonymous · Answer

24

taylovesmatthew · Answer

thank you but can you explain how you got that?

anonymous · Answer

you find the reciprocal of 11/8 which is 8/11 and times it to both sides to get the variable by itself

xguardians · Answer

@Smallboy3097 That is certainly wrong, if B was one, it would be 11/8 which is MUCH less than 33.

anonymous · Answer

b is 24 @xGuardians

xguardians · Answer

If you times if by the reciprocal, it doesn't isolate the variable lol, check your work please, input 24.
11/8(24) = 33
11 / 192 = 33

.05 = 33?
WRONG.

xguardians · Answer

11 / 8B = 33
Multiply 8B to other side.
11 =  264B
Divide by 264.
B = .0416

You are right, @xGuardians , only if question is $\dfrac{11}{8b}$, but remember it could be $\dfrac{11}{8}b$, so @Smallboy3097 may be right.

Which is it? @TayLovesMatthew

Oh, so very true, my bad, I had misinterpreted it, @Smallboy3097 is probably correct, sorry about that, he wouldn't get a problem that hard probably.
