Answer:

B=10

Explanation:

1/5B=2

Step 1 = Multiply each side by 5 ( 1/5 * 5/1 = 5/5 = 1 )

1/5B x 5 = 2 x 5

B= 10

Or

Step 1 = Rewrite the equation

0.2B=2

Step 2 = Divide each side by .2

0.2B/0.2=2/0.2

B=10

Answer:

b = 10

Explanation:

You can solve for b by dividing both sides by 1/5 because it will remove the 1/5 from the left side of the equation, but what you do to one side you must do to the other side as well.

(1/5b)/ (1/5) = 2/ (1/5)

b = 10
