Question

Solve for n.

n/8=5 1/5
I need before 5:00 pm!




A.13/20




B.1 7/13




C.41 3/5




D.208

Answer 1

Make the improper fraction into a fraction
n/8= 26/5

Multiply by 8 to both sides to get n by itself

n= 26(8)/5

n=41 3/5

Answer 2

`(n)/(8)=5 (1)/(5) \\ \\ (n)/(8)=(26)/(5) \\ \\ 5n=26 \cdot 8 \\ \\ 5n=208 \\ \\ n=(208)/(5) \\ \\ \boxed{n=41 (3)/(5)}`

The answer is C.
