Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation


(1)/(9(1)/(2))=(n)/(19)

First, we cross multiply.


\begin{gathered} n*9(1)/(2)=19*1 \\ n*(19)/(2)=19 \end{gathered}

Next, divide both sides by 19/2 to solve for n.


\begin{gathered} (n*(19)/(2))/((19)/(2))=19/(19)/(2) \\ n=19*(2)/(19) \\ n=2 \end{gathered}
