Question

11/n = 8/5 solve for n

Answer 1

n = 55/8

Explanation:

You can solve it by cross multiplying. Where you multiply the denominator of the fraction on the left side with the numerator on the right side, and vice versa.

11/n = 8/5

n x 8 = 11 x 5

8n = 55

n = 55/8

(or 6.875)

Answer 2

`\boxed{\pink{n = 7 (3)/(8) }}`

Explanation:

`(11)/(n) = (8)/(5) \\`

Use cross multiplication

`11 * 5 = 8 * n \\ 55 = 8n \\ (55)/(8) = (8n)/(8) \\ n = 7 (3)/(8)`
