Final answer:

The correct solution for the equation v = lwh solved for l is c. l = v/wh, where v is divided by, the product of w and h.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation v = lwh represents the volume v of a rectangular prism, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. To solve for l, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Divide both sides by
\(wh\):\[ l = (v)/(wh) \]

So, the correct option is:


c. \(l = (v)/(wh)\)

This choice reflects the correct rearrangement of the formula to solve for l. It's essential to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation to maintain equality.
