Question

How do you solve `3/u=27/162`?

Answer 1

u=18

Explanation:

You just use the x method
3x162=27u
u=486/27
u=18

Answer 2

3 and `u` are multiplied by 9 to get the equivalent fraction

`162/9=18`

so `u=18`

Answer 3

`u = 18`

Explanation:

First of all, you can simplify the right hand side by `27` to get

`27/162 = 1 / 6`

So, the equation becomes

`3/u = 1/6`

Multiply both sides by `6u` to get

`6cancel(u) * 3/cancel(u) = 1/cancel(6) * cancel(6)u`

and thus `u = 18`

Answer 4

`u=18`

Explanation:

`"since the fractions are equal"`

`"the numerators/denominators will be equal"`

`"note that "27/9=3larrcolor(blue)"numerators"`

`"hence "u=162/9=18`

`3/18=27/162=1/6`
