Q:
Solve the following proportion for the unknown variable: 15/d = 24/40
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:
d = 25
Explanation:
To get the value of d, we will need to isolate the d on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
[tex] \frac{15}{d} = \frac{24}{40} [/tex]
First, we will do cross multiplication as follows:
40*15 = 24*d
600 = 24d
Then, we will isolate the d as follows:
24d = 600
[tex] \frac{24d}{24} = \frac{600}{24} [/tex]
d = 25
Hope this helps :)
