solve for m 3/8m=1/4

Answer 1

Hi Stormie,

Answer: m = 2/3

In order to solve for m, we have to take the reciprocal of 3/8 from both sides.

This means multiply both sides by 8/3 like the following:

(8/3) * (3/8)m = (1/4) * (8/3)

The left side, the 3's and 8's cancel each other out so we are left with m. As for the right side, we can simplify it multiplying and sampling 8/12, which would be 2/3.

Because of this, our answer would be m = 2/3.

I hope this helps. Have a great day.

Answer 2

Hi Stormie, happy to help!

To solve for m, you want to isolate m.

To isolate m, you need to multiply by 8 on both sides, which gets you:

3m = 2

After, you divide 3 on both sides, which leads to:

m = 2/3

Answer 3

Hi Stormie

Could you clarify your question a bit more?

Is your question is (3/8)m = 1/4

Or (3/8m) = 1/4

For the first option, you solve for by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/8.

(8/3)(3/8)m = (1/4)(3/8)

In the second option where m is in the denominator you would start by multiplying both sides by m, as in (m/1)

Answer 4

Hello,

You can solve for m in this problem by multiplying both sides by 8/3. When you do this, the 3/8 on the left side of the equation cancels out, leaving you with m. On the right side, you multiply 1/4 x 8/3.

For example:

3 M = 1 = 3 x 8 M = 1 x 8

8 4 8 3 4 3

The multiply the fractions on the right side to get the value of m.

I hope this is helpful.
