2/3 times 4/5 times m = 1/3 What is M?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
David say: The value of the variable m is 5/8 because 2/3 times 4/5 times 5/8 = 1/3
-
RR say: 2/3 x 4/5 x m/1 = 1/3

Multiply out the left hand side
8m/15 = 1/3

Multiply both sides by 15 to eliminate the fraction of m
8m = 5

m = 5/8
-
Free At Last say: 15/24
-
Iggy Rocko say: 2/3 * 4/5 * m = 1/3
8m/15 = 1/3
3(8m) = 15(1)
24m = 15
m = 15/24 = 5/8
-
Krishnamurthy say: (2/3) (4/5) m = 1/3
(8/15) m = 1/3
m = 5/8
-
Steve A say: (2/3)(4/5)m = (1/3)
(2/3)(3/2)(4/5)(5/4)m = (1/3)(3/2)(5/4)
m = 5/8
-
Como say: (2/3) (4/5) m = 1/3
(8/15) m = 1/3
24 m = 15
m = 5/8
-
Elaine say: Rewrite as:
2/3 X (4/5) m = 1/3
Use BEDMAS
(8/15) m = 1/3
transpose
m = (1/3) / (15 /8)
m = 5 / 8

Verify m = 5 / 8
LS
(2 / 3) X (4 / 5) X (5 / 8) = 40 / 120
40 / 120 = 1/ 3
LS = RS
-
Puzzling say: 2/3 * 4/5 * m = 1/3
m = 1/3 / (2/3 * 4/5)
m = 1/3 / (8/15)
m = 1/3 * (15/8)
m = 15/24
m = 5/8

Answer:
5/8
-
-j. say: 2/3 * 4/5 * m = 1/3
8/15 * m = 1/3
m = (1/3) / (8/15)
When you divide by a fraction, that's the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So
m = (1/3) * 15/8
m = 5/8

Done :)

say: m = (1/3)(5/4)(3/2)
m = 5/8
