Question

Solve the following proportion for u.

11/3=u/4

Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

u ≈ 14.7

Explanation:

The coefficient of u is 1/4. Multiply the equation by the multiplicative inverse of that (the reciprocal of 1/4) to make the coefficient be 1.

(4)(11/3) = 4(u/4)

u = 44/3

u ≈ 14.7
