Question

U/5 equals 17/3 Round your answer to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

u = 28.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given that:

`(u)/(5)=(17)/(3)`

We will solve the proportion as shown below:

`\begin{gathered} (u)/(5)=(17)/(3) \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ u*3=5*17 \\ \text{Divide both sides by ''3'', we have:} \\ u=(5*17)/(3) \\ u=(85)/(3)=28(1)/(3)=28.333 \\ u=28.333\approx28.3 \\ u=28.3 \\ \\ \therefore u=28.3(to\text{ the nearest tenth)} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, u equals 28.3
