Question

Solve for the value
14/5 = z/25

Answer 1

z = 70

Explanation:

14/5 = z/25

multiply both sides by 25

25(14/5) = 25(z/25)

the 25s on the right cancel out

25(14/5) = z

70 = z

Answer 2

z = 70

Explanation:

Multiply by 25 on both sides:

14/5 = z/25

25(14/5) = (z/25)

25(14/5) = z

Divide:

25(14/5) = z

25(2.8)‬ = z

Multiply:

25(2.8)‬ = z

70 = z
