Question

How do you solve `6/7=2/n`?

Answer 1

`n = 7/3 = 2 1/3`

Explanation:

In an equation such as this one where you have ONE fraction on each side of an = sign, you can get rid of the fractions by cross-multiplying.

`6/7 = 2/n`

`6xxn = 7xx2 " "larr` isolate n

`(6n)/6 = 14/6`

`n = 7/3 = 2 1/3`
