Hello
There!

We are asked to find the value of n in the equation
$\bold{\displaystyle(n)/(8) =(11)/(5)}$ .

It's not hard, I promise! I am going to take you through a few steps, and we'll find the answer.

Are you ready? Then let's begin... :)

Procedure:

First, we need to multiply both sides by the denominator of n/8, which is 8:

n/8*8=(11/5)*8

On the left side of the equal sign, the 8's cancel, leaving us with n.

n=(11/5)*8

We can write 8 as 8/1. Now we multiply 11 times 8 and 5 times 1:

n=(11*8/5*1)

Which is the same as

n=88/5

▲ this answer is already in it's simplest form, we can't simplify it further

Greetings!
