Answer N=6

Explanation:

Hello!

steps


(5)/(3) = (10)/(n)

cross multiply

Apply fraction cross multiply, if


(a)/(b) = (c)/(d)

then a.d=c.b

5.N=3.10

simplify

  • 3.10=30...multiply the numbers
  • 5.N=5N


5n = 30

divide both sides by 5


(5n)/(5) = (30)/(5)

simplify

N=6

Hope it helps!
