Question

Solve for t in the proportions

t/3 = 5/1

t= ?

Answer 1

t = 15

Explanation:

`= > (t)/(3) = (5)/(1)`

On cross multiplication,

`= > t * 1 = 5 * 3 \\ = > t = 15`

Hope you've understood the solution.

Answer 2

• 
  `\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.
