Full solution

Q. Solve the equation.\newline43b=45b= \begin{array}{l} \frac{4}{3} b=\frac{4}{5} \\ b= \end{array}
  1. Identify equation: Identify the equation to solve.\newlineWe have the equation (43)b=(45)(\frac{4}{3})b = (\frac{4}{5}). We need to find the value of bb.
  2. Isolate variable: Isolate the variable bb. To isolate bb, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 43\frac{4}{3}, which is 34\frac{3}{4}. 34×43b=34×45\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{3}b = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}
  3. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication on both sides.\newlineOn the left side, (34)×(43)=1(\frac{3}{4}) \times (\frac{4}{3}) = 1, so we are left with bb.\newlineOn the right side, (34)×(45)=(3×44×5)=1220(\frac{3}{4}) \times (\frac{4}{5}) = (\frac{3\times4}{4\times5}) = \frac{12}{20}.
  4. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction on the right side.\newline1220\frac{12}{20} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 44.\newline1220=12/420/4=35\frac{12}{20} = \frac{12/4}{20/4} = \frac{3}{5}.
  5. Write final value: Write down the final value of bb.\newlineSo, b=35b = \frac{3}{5}.
