Question

Find the value of m .
35/50 = m/10
m = ___.

Answer 1

First, cross multiply

35 * m = 50 * 10

35m = 500

Then, Divide both sides by 35

m = 500 / 35

m = 14
`(2)/(7)` or 14.29

Answer 2

`(35)/(50)=(m)/(10)` Multiple 10 on both sides to get m by itself

`(10)(35)/(50)=(m)/(10)(10)`

`(350)/(50)=m` Simplify

7 = m
