Question

Solve for c:
c / 3 equals 30 / 5
show your work and apply the correct order of operation ​

Answer 1

c = 18

Explanation:

Rewrite c / 3 equals 30 / 5 as:

c 30

----- = -----

3 5

Reduce 30/5 to 6/1:

c 6

----- = -----

3 1

Cross multiplying, we get 1c = 18, or c = 18.

Answer 2

Unless there is more to the question than c = 2 because 30 /5 = 6 and if c is 3 than 3 = 6 so simplify if needed.
