solve proportions or do u want to solve for v?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

@themanman solve x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean v? right?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we know that 3/2 is 1.5 therfore 8/v = 1.5 take the 8 to the other side so you divide 8 by 1.5 and get 5.3 recurring so v= 5.3 recurring

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

easiest thing to do... is take the reciprocals of both fractions... v/8 = 2/3 then multiply both sides of the equation by 8

OpenStudy (lizz123):

Thnx so the answer is 5.3....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but remember to put a dot on top of the 3

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well it depends I'd write 16/3 as its an exact value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the 3 is recurring

OpenStudy (lizz123):

okay thnx
