No problem. Do you know how I got this answer?
OpenStudy (natsent06):
satellite yes
OpenStudy (natsent06):
um not really
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if so then \(a=\frac{1}{2}\) and so
\[\frac{30}{a}=\frac{30}{\frac{1}{2}}=30\times 2=60\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@DangerousJesse thirty divided by point five is sixty

Yep, your exclamation made much more sense than what I was going to say haha.
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Explanation*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
post a screen shot if you like
OpenStudy (natsent06):
hold on
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but in any case if it really says
\[30=a\times 60\] then \[a=\frac{30}{60}=\frac{1}{2}\] making
\[\frac{30}{a}=\frac{30}{\frac{1}{2}}=30\times 2=60\]

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
30=60*60
30/120
OpenStudy (natsent06):

OpenStudy (natsent06):

30=0.5*60
30/0.5
a=0.5
OpenStudy (natsent06):
i know that
OpenStudy (natsent06):
but look at the screenshot it wont let me put the . it only lets me put in the 5
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Can you put in 1/2?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
its not asking you to solve for 'a'; its asking you to solve for '30/a'

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Ah, I thought she was replacing the variable 'a'. The answer is 60, then.
OpenStudy (natsent06):

OpenStudy (natsent06):

OpenStudy (natsent06):
