Question

36/42 = 24/r what is r

Answer 1

r = 28

Explanation:

Cross multiply and solve for r:

`(36)/(42)` =
`(24)/(r)`

36r = 1008

r = 28

So, r = 28

Answer 2

r=28

Explanation:

36/42 = 24/r (determine the defined range)

36/42 = 24/r , r ≠ 0 ( Reduce the fraction)

6/7 = 24/r (cross multiply)

6x = 168 ( divide both sides)

r=28 , r ≠ 0
