m equals fourteen
I just need someone to tell me how to find M, I don't need the answer. Will give medal.

Answer 4

Hold on, that's wrong actually. You have to cross multiply, not divide.

Answer 5

I got an answer with a decimal in it so I knew it was wrong.

Answer 6

10/2 is 5 thus making M=10

Answer 7

if you have a calculator put in (30/6) and then put in (10/2) they should both be 5

Oh okay, thank you.
