Solve for n. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

47 over n = 36 over 54

That can be represented as 47/n=36/54
Cross multiply. That will be
47 x 54= n x 36
47 times 54 is 2538
n times 36 is 36n
That will be
2538=36n
Divide both sides by 36
n=2538/36
n=70.5
71 to the nearest tenth
Hope that helped. Good luck

47/n = 36/54

36n = 47(54)
36n = 2538
n = 70.5
