Question

6/11 = c/77

show work please

Answer 1

c=42

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to get the variable, c, by itself.

6/11=c/77

c is being divided by 77. To reverse this, multiply both sides by 77, because multiplication is the opposite of division.

77*6/11=c/77*77

77*6/11=c

42=c

If we substitute 42 in for c, the proportion will look like:

6/11=42/77

Answer 2

6/11 = c/77

To find c, cross multiply:

(6 x 77) = (11 x c)

Simplify:

462 = 11c

Divide both sides by 11:

c = 462 / 11

c = 42
