Question

Solve the formula for the specified variable
N=(1/6)rm what is r

Answer 1

r =
`(6N)/(m)`

Explanation:

Given an equation in terms of N on the left side and r, m variables on the right side.

Instead of N on left side we have to bring r on left side alone and other terms on right side to get formula for r.

For this multiply the given equation first by 6.

6N = rm

Now divide by m

r =
`(6N)/(m)`

This is the formula for r in terms of N, m.

Answer 2

N=(1/6)rm

Solve for r

`N = (1)/(6) rm`

`N = (1)/(6)*r*m`

To remove the fraction 1/6, we multiply both side by reciprocal 6/1

`N(6)/(1)= (1)/(6)*r*m(6)/(1)`

6N = rm

Now divide by m on both sides

`(6N)/(m)= (r)/(m)`

`(6N)/(m)= r`

We solved for r

`r = (6N)/(m)`
