Question

Solve the equation h÷1.5=8.4. Then check your solution.

a) 6.9
b) 9.9
c) 12.6
d) -6.9

Answer 1

c. 12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators h/1.5=8.4

3*h/1.5=3*8.4

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

2h=3*8.4

Multiply the numbers

2h=25.2

Divide both sides by the same factor

2h/5= 25.2/2

Divide the numbers

h=25.2/2

h=12.6

Solution= 12.6, So letter C

Answer 2

The solution to the equation h÷1.5=8.4 is 12.6. To confirm this answer, we can check by substituting 12.6 for h in the equation, thus the correct option is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation h÷1.5 = 8.4 can be solved by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1.5. The result of this is h = 8.4 × 1.5 = 12.6. Thus, the solution to the equation is c) 12.6. To check this solution, we can substitute 12.6 for h in the equation. This gives us 12.6 ÷ 1.5 = 8.4. As the left hand side of the equation is equal to the right hand side, this confirms that c) 12.6 is the correct solution.

In conclusion, the equation h÷1.5=8.4 can be solved by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1.5. This gives us h = 8.4 × 1.5 = 12.6. To check this answer, we can substitute 12.6 for h in the equation and see that the left hand side equals the right hand side. Therefore, the solution to the equation is c) 12.6.
