What is the answer to this equation? 6 = B/18

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-11-06] [Hit: ]
It will cancel out on the right side and you will be left with 6 x 18 = B-What is the answer to this equation? 6 = B/18?6 x 18 = b = 108-You cant divide by 3,that doesnt make any sense.Multiply both sides by 18 so you arent dealing with a fraction........
I'm assuming that I'm solving for B, so here are my steps:

1 - Put 6 over 1 to make it into a fraction

2 - Factor 6 into 18 making the equation 1 = B/3

And that's where I get stuck :/

Please help?

to get rid of the fraction you multiply both sides by the denominator. Think about it logically: if B divided by 18 is 6, then 18 times 6 will equal B. You didn't have to do step one or two of what you just did. Isolating B is the goal so all you had to do was get rid of the 18. Which (as I said, I'm starting to repeat myself!) is multiply both sides by 18. It will cancel out on the right side and you will be left with 6 x 18 = B

-----------------------------------
cross-multiply

6 x 18 = b = 108

6/1 = B/18

Cross Multiply:

6*18=1*B

108=B

So B=108
