Question

Solve the proportion. n/5 = 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a Proportion such that,

n/5 = 3/8

To find the value of n.

Simply, it's a type of linear equation where n is a variable.

As we know that, linear equation has only one solution,

Therefore, it will also have only one solution, i.e., there will be only one value satisfying this equation.

Now, to solve the equation,

Let's do Cross multiplication.

Therefore, we will get,

=> n × 8 = 3 × 5

=> 8n = 15

Now, dividing both sides, by 8, we get,

=> 8n/8 = 15/8

=> n = 15/8.

Hence, the required value of n = 15/8

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{n}{5} = \frac{3}{8} \\ 8n = 15 \\ n = \frac{15}{8}$
