Chapter CSB, Problem 1.18E

To determine

To solve:thegiven proportion.

Answer to Problem 1.18E

  $h=2.1$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given proportion are $\frac{16}{7}=\frac{4.8}{h}$ .

Calculation:

As the given proportion are $\frac{16}{7}=\frac{4.8}{h}$ .

Now, solved the given equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{16}{7}=\frac{4.8}{h}\left\{\text{given proportion}\right\}\\ h\times 16=7\times 4.8\{\text{cross-multiplication}}\\ \therefore h=\frac{7\times 4.8}{16}\{\text{divide both sides by 16}}\\ \Rightarrow h=7\times 0.3=2.1\{\text{simplify}}\end{array}$

Hence, the solution of the given solution is $h=2.1$ .
