Question

7/3 = 4/t. what is t? Please give a good explanation.

Answer 1

Answer:

So what we need to do first is single out t. So 7/3 times 4 (as 4 divides on the right it's gonna multiply on the left). Multiplying numerators together 7*4 gives 28 with 3 in the denominator. So it'll look like 28/3. Division must give you

t = 9.33

Have a nice day!!

Answer 2

This question has already been set up as a proportion. You start by cross multiplying. 7 times t is equal to 7t. 3 times 4 is equal to 12. You now have the equation 7t = 12. Now you use the division property of equality, meaning you divide both sides of the equation by 7. 7t divided by 7 equals t. 12 divided by 7 equals approximately 1.7. Then you are left with the equation t=1.7.
