The equation r= u/st is equivalent to u = rst. True or False. And please explain.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Well let's look at r = u/st Looks like they are wanting to solve for u. Do you know how to start solving for u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know you divide by SOMETHING...

sammixboo (sammixboo):

No, since you are dividing you must multiply :) Does the problem look like this? |dw:1430333664652:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oooohhh. Yes, it does.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yeah, ok. We still mutliply. What do we multiply on both sides of the equation to get u alone on one side of the equal sign? r? u? st? |dw:1430333849957:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can multiply them by st and that isolates u so... then you have u=rst. So the answer is true. Thanks so much! :3

sammixboo (sammixboo):

:) No problem! Seems like you understood it very well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess so. :D
