Question

Solve the proportion 5/3c=1/6

Answer 1

`c=(1)/(10)`

Explanation:

So the trick is to make the number before c = 1.

How do we do that?

We multiply the fraction by it's reciprocal, which is 3/5.

However, we also have to do the same thing to the other side of the equation.

Answering the problem will look like this:

`(5)/(3) c=(1)/(6)\\(3)/(5)*(5)/(3)c=(1)/(6)*(3)/(5)\\(3*5)/(5*3)c=(1*3)/(6*5)\\(15)/(15)c=(3)/(30)\\c=(1)/(10)`

So
`(1)/(10)` is our answer!

Answer 2

Answer:C= 10

Explanation:

1.cross multiply and you get 3c=30

2.divide both sides by 3 and you get c=10
