Answer:

v = 5.4

4.9 6.1

6.1 V 26.46

6.1 6.1

v= 4.337704918

v=4.34

the reason u are glancing at 26.46 with no answer is that I cross multiplied every number which gave me 6.1 V and 26.46 ...Don't forget we are focused only on V .The sign that is joining V and 6.1 is MULTIPLICATION sign so we use the opposite which is division .I divided both sides by 6.1 cause we are looking for V which gave me 4.337704918 which looks a little bit odd .So I looked for three significant figures which gave me 4.34 .When u round it to the nearest 100 it stays the same round 4.34 to the nearest hundredth consider the thousandths’ value of 4.34, which is 0 and less than 5. Therefore, the hundredths’ value of 4.34 remains 4.
