Question

How do you solve `g/16=6/4`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(16)` to solve for `g` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(16) xx g/16 = color(red)(16) xx 6/4`

`cancel(color(red)(16)) xx g/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(16))) = cancel(color(red)(16))4 xx 6/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))`

`g = 4 xx 6`

`g = 24`
