Question

How do you solve `(5m)/6=10/12`?

Answer 1

`m=1`

Explanation:

`color(green)((5m)/6color(red)(xx1) = 10/12`

`color(green)((5m)/6color(red)(xx2/2) = 10/12`

`(10m)/12=10/12`

Now that the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same we may consider just the top numbers (numerators)

`=> 10m=10`

`m=1`
