Question

I've been stuck on this one
3 4/7 m =8 1/3
m=

Answer 1

Explanation:

3 4/7 m =8 1/3

25m/7 = 25/3

multiply the left side by 3/3 and right side by 7/7

75m/21 = 175/21

then divide 175 by 75

m = 2.33

Answer 2

(7/3)

Explanation:

3 4/7 m =8 1/3

I'll assume m is a variable, not meters. I'll add parentheses to clarify:

(3 4/7)*m =8 1/3

Lets start by converting the mixed numbers into fractions with the same denominators:

3 4/7 = (21/7) + (4/7) = (25/7) [convert 3 into (21/7) and then add (4/7)]

8 1/3 = (24/3) + (1/3) = (25/3) [convert 8 into (24/3) and then add (1/3)]

Now we can write: (25/7)*m = (25/3)

(25/7)*m = (25/3)

(7/25)*(25/7)*m = (7/25)*(25/3) [Multiply both sides by (7/25)]

Since (7/25)*(25/7) = 1, and

(7/25)*(25/3) = (7/3)

We get 1m = (7/3)

m is (7/3)
