Answer:

c = 8

Explanation:


\small \sf (3)/(6) = (4)/(c ) \\

  • Variable c cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6c, the least common multiple of 6,c.

c × 3 = 6 × 4

  • multiply 6 and 4 to get 24

3c = 24

  • divide both side by 3


\small \sf (3c )/(3) = \frac{ 24} {3} \\


\small \sf \frac{ \cancel{3}c }{ \cancel{3}} = \frac{ \cancel{24}} {\cancel{3}} \\

  • Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.

c = 8
