Answer:

1.2

Explanation:


(v)/(5) =
(3)/(13) Cross multiply and solve for v

13v = 15 Divide both sides by 13


(13v)/(13) =
(15)/(13)

v = 1.2 rounded to the nearest tenth

Why this works


(v)/(5) =
(3)/(13) we can clear the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equal sign by (5·13)


((5x13))/(1) ·
(v)/(5) =
((5x13))/(1) ·
(3)/(13) On the left of the equal sign the 5's cancel out and the on the right of the equal sign the 13's cancel out.

13v = 5(3)

13v = 15
