Question

Solve for n.

Answer 1

What is the full question?

Answer 2

n = 48
n = 8
n = 6
n = 126

Answer 3

that is the full question

Answer 4

can you reduce the fraction, 6/18 ?

Answer 5

1/3

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

So now we have:

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{1}{3}=\frac{n}{24} }\)

Answer 8

Then cross multiply.

Answer 9

what?

Answer 10

ohh, I see, when we cross multiply we do this:

For example if we had:

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{2}{3}=\frac{6}{x} }\)

then the cross multiplication gives us: \(\LARGE\color{black}{ 2\times x=3 \times 6 }\) and on...

Answer 11

9

Answer 12

yes, x would be nine, good:)

Answer 13

Okay, so in our case, when we have, \(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{1}{3}=\frac{n}{24} }\)

do you know how we would multiply?

Answer 14

if don't know, then say so, please...

Answer 15

I don'
t know

Answer 16

Okay:

Answer 17

We are multiplying like this:

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{\color{red}{1}}{\color{blue}{3}}=\frac{\color{blue}{n}}{\color{red}{24}} }\)

\(\large\color{black}{ \color{red}{1} \times \color{red}{24} =\color{blue}{n}\times \color{blue}{3} }\)

Answer 18

get it?

Answer 19

so 8 is the answer

Answer 20

Yes, it is 8.

Answer 21

Can you answer a small quick question for me?

Answer 22

okay

Answer 23

I'll ask it:

If we had, \(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{3}{2}=\frac{x}{5} }\)
how would we multiply (cross multiply) ?

(without even giving me what x is going to be equal to)
