Answer to Problem 65CCR

The value of b is $\frac{1}{6}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given: It is given in the question that the expression are $5=30b$ .

Concept Used:

In this, use the concept of doing the same operation on the both sides of the equation.

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}5=30b\\ \frac{5}{30}=\frac{30b}{30}\\ \frac{1}{6}=b\\ b=\frac{1}{6}\end{array}$

Check:

Right Hand Side: $30b=30\times \frac{1}{6}=5$ = Left Hand Side

Conclusion:

The value of $b$is $\frac{1}{6}$ .
