Question

Explain how you would solve 16 over c =8 and what's the answer​

Answer 1

we have 16/c = 8

we will take the c and multiply it with the 8. this is because division on one side of the equation is multiplication on the other side.

then we will take the 8 and divide it with 16.this is because multiplication on one side of the equation is division on the other side.

the answer is 2.

Answer 2

This problem can be solved in two different ways. I will show and explain both.

Original Equation: 16/c = 8

Solve by multiplying:

1) Multiply each side by c

16 = 8c

2) Divide both sides by 8

c = 2

Solve by cross-multiplying:

1) Cross-multiply

16/c = 8/1

8c = 16

2) Divide both sides by 8

c = 2

Hope this helps! :)
