Question

What is the value of z in the equation z over 2 equals 5 over 3 ?

Answer 1

you can isolate z by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to cancel out the fraction on the left side:

2 * z/2 = 2 * 5/3

z= 10/3

as a mixed number it would be 3 1/3

Answer 2

z=
`(10)/(3)`

Explanation:

`(z)/(2)` =
`(5)/(3)`, so z= 2 ×
`(5)/(3)` =
`(10)/(3)`
