Answer:
r = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{3}{8}r = 6 \\\\[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 8
[tex]8*\frac{3}{8}r = 6*8\\\\3r = 48\\[/tex]
Divide both side by 3
[tex]\frac{3}{3}r=\frac{48}{3}\\\\r = 16[/tex]
OR
Multiply both side by (8/3)
[tex]\frac{8}{3}*\frac{3}{8}r=6*\frac{8}{3}\\\\r = 2*8\\\\r = 16[/tex]
write an equation to represent the information in this problem. Jerel runs five days each week. on each of 4 days, he runs 2.3 km. if jerel runs a total of 14km, how many kilometers does he run on the fifth day?
Let x be the distance run on the fifth day
Total distance run on all the four days = 2.3 * 4 = 9.2 km
Required equation : x + 9.2 = 14
x = 14 - 9.2
x = 4.8 km
