Question

Solve the following equation using multiplication property of equality.
$fraction numerator c over denominator 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction$

$\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{5}{4}$
1
2

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator 5 over denominator 4 end fraction$

Step 1:
$fraction numerator c over denominator 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction$
Using multiplication property of equality, multiply both the sides with $fraction numerator 2 over denominator 1 end fraction$
Step 2:
$fraction numerator c over denominator 2 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 2 over denominator 1 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 2 over denominator 1 end fraction$
So we get, c = $fraction numerator 10 over denominator 8 end fraction$ or $fraction numerator 5 over denominator 4 end fraction$
