Chapter 6.5, Problem 19PPS

To determine

To Solve: The equation $\frac{v}{6}=\frac{20.7}{5.4}$

Answer to Problem 19PPS

  $v=23$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The equation $\frac{v}{6}=\frac{20.7}{5.4}$

Concept and Formula Used:

To solve the equation bring variable to one side and constant to other side and use cross multiplication.

Calculation:

The given equation is $\frac{v}{6}=\frac{20.7}{5.4}$

Cross multiply

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{v}{6}=\frac{20.7}{5.4}\\ v\times 5.4=20.7\times 6\\ 5.4v=124.2\\ \text{Divide both side by 5}\text{.4}\\ \frac{5.4v}{5.4}=\frac{124.2}{5.4}\\ 1v=23\\ v=23\end{array}$

Conclusion:

  $v=23$
