What is the solution to g over three is equal to five over four?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

\[\frac{ g }{3 }=\frac{ 5 }{4 }\] Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah thats right

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Solve for g by getting it by itself one one side of the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

g is divided by 3. To get ig by itself we need to multiply both sides by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the answer

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

This doesn't change the equation because we are doing the same thing to both sides.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Be patient. I wont help you of you just want the answer and aren't interested in learning how to do the problem yourself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but have to leave soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 0.42

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok. That 's not what I get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant 0. 71

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im about to leave hurry

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

\[3\times \frac{ g }{ 3 }=\frac{ 5 }{4 }\times3\]

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

3/3 cancels out on the left side leaving g by itself.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And the right simplifies to. 15/4

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Multiply numerators and denominators.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.71 6.67 3.75

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What is. 15/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i dont now

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Do you have a calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

15 divided by. 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Really? It should be 3.75

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Are you sure you didn't put 12/4?
