PROBLEM
What is the value of N in 3 : n = 6 : 10
SOLUTION
3 : n = 6 : 10
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 10n, The Least Common Multiple of n, 10.
[tex] \frac{3}{n} \times \frac{6}{10} \\ 10 \times 3 = n \times 6 \\ 30 = n \times 6 \\ n \times 6 = 30 \\ n = \frac{30}{6} \\ n = 5[/tex]
ANSWER
- Therefore, the value of n is 5
