Question

What both sides am I supposed to divide by 5?

Answer 1

The numbers on the right column follows the following formula

`(5)/(6)n`

Therefore, the number on the right column for question 3 is also on this format. 150 is equal to this expression for some given n, to find this value of n we just need to estabilish an equality between 150 and the expression.

`150=(5)/(6)n`

Solving this expression for n, we have

`\begin{gathered} 150=(5)/(6)n \\ 6\cdot(150)=6\cdot((5)/(6)n) \\ 900=5n \\ ((900))/(5)=((5n))/(5) \\ 180=n \end{gathered}`

And this give to us the n value, that is also the value for the left column. The answer for question 3 is 180.
