Question

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

Answer 1

so the equation is : 5/6= n/5 + 1/2?

Answer 2

subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation and you get

2/6 = n/5

multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get n

Answer 3

yes @Jaodao

Answer 4

5/6-1/2=n/5
5-3/6=n/5
2/6=n/5
1/3=n/5
5/3=n
therefore, n = 5/3

Answer 5

isnt the answer a whole number

Answer 6

not with the following equation its not

Answer 7

but the answer u got is not on the choices ii got

Answer 8

could you perhaps write the equation once yourself? that'd would help

Answer 9

5/6=n/5+1/2 i have 3/5 on one of the choices

Answer 10

im getting n=10/6=5/3 which is the same result that @campbell_st got.
for the answer to be 3/5, n would be represented as 1/n but that is not the case.

Answer 11

can u please xplain it to me

Answer 12

5/6 = n/5+1/2 is the equations and we need to find n
subtract 1/2 from both sides 5/6-1/2= n/5 +1/2 -1/2 to get:
5/6-1/2= n/5
now find multiply (-1/2 x 3/3) to get (-3/6) we do this to make the denominator the same value as the other number, so...
5-3/6=n/5 we get
2/6=n/5, now multiply both sides with 5 so that we eliminate denominator on 'n'
2x5/6 = nx5/5
we gives
10/6=n
therefore by simplifying 10/6 we get n = 5/3

that is the logic behind it, if this is not the answer then there must be a mistake with the equation or the question or answer or me and campbell
