Q. Solve for r.\begin{align*}
\left(\frac{4}{r}\right)&=\left(\frac{5}{7}\right),\
r&=
\end{align*}
Set up equation: Set up the equation from the given problem.We have the equation (r4)=(75). To solve for r, we need to find a value for r that makes this equation true.
Cross-multiply: Cross-multiply to solve for r. Cross-multiplying gives us 4×7=5×r.
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication on both sides of the equation.4×7=28 and 5×r=5r.So, we have 28=5r.
Divide for r: Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for r.528=55r.
Calculate r: Calculate the value of r.528=5.6, so r=5.6.
