Question

Find the value of n

6/n = 5/120

Answer 1

144

Explanation:

you should use a proportion to do this to make it easier to solve.

`(6)/(n) = (5)/(120)`

cross multiply the numbers

`5n = 6*120`

`5n = 720`

then divide 720 by 5

`n = 144`

Answer 2

n = 144

Explanation:

6 / n = 5/120

6 * 120 = 5*n

5n = 6*120

5n = 720

n = 720/5

n = 144
