Question

6.5/40.3 = M/12.4 what dose m =

Answer 1

m=2

`(6.5)/(40.3) = (m)/(12.4)`

`40.3m \: = 6.5 * 12.4`

`m = (6.5 * 12.4)/(40.3)`

`m = (80.6)/(40.3)`

`m = 2`

Answer 2

M = 2

Explanation:

What does it mean to have something be equal (Equivalent)?

Equivalence means to be same, whether it be value, temperature, size, etc.

If equivalence means to be the same, we can use this equation to figure out what M is equal to.

• 40.3 ÷ 12.4 = 3.25

So, in order to solve for M, we need to divide 6.5 by 3.25.

• 6.5 ÷ 3.25 = 2

Therefore, M = 2.
