Question

How do you solve 2/5g=3/5 with a whole number??? I'm stuck

Answer 1

g = 1
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

`(2)/(5) g = (3)/(5)`

Multiply both sides by
`(5)/(2)` the reciprocal of
`(2)/(5)`.

`g = (3)/(5)` ×
`((5)/(2))`

Multiply
`(3)/(5)` times
`(5)/(2)` by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

`g = (3x5)/(5x2)`

Cancel out 5 in both numerator and denominator.

`g = (3)/(2)`

simplify

1
`(1)/(2)`

Hope it helps and have a great day! =D

Answer 2

g = 3/2

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 5 (the whole number).

• 
  `(2)/(5)g * 5 = (3)/(5) * 5`
• 
  `2g = (15)/(5)`
• 
  `2g = 3`

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

• 
  `2g/2 = 3/2`
• 
  `g = 3/2`

Therefore, g = 3/2.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
