1 over 3b = 4 over 5 . Which of the following equals b in this equation? (4 points)

1 over 4
1 1 over 8
2 2 over 5
2 over 5

Answer 1

c) 2 2 over 5 = 2 2/5

Explanation:

Forming the equation,

→ (1/3)b = 4/5

Now the value of b will be,

→ (1/3)b = 4/5

→ b = (4/5) ÷ (1/3)

→ b = (4/5) × (3/1)

→ b = (4 × 3)/(5 × 1)

→ b = 12/5

→ [ b = 2 2/5 ]

Hence, value of b is 12/5.
