Answer:


  • \boxed{\sf{t=15}}

Explanation:

In proportions, you need to isolate t on one side of the equation.

Given:


\sf{(t)/(3)=(5)/(1) }


\Longrightarrow: \sf{(t)/(3)=5}

First, multiply by 3 from both sides.


\sf{(3t)/(3)=5*3}

Solve.

Multiply the numbers from left to right.

5*3=15

Solutions:


\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{t=15}}

  • Therefore, the final answer is t=15.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
