3/5X = 39
Solve for X by multiplying both sides by 5/3.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

To find out how many people are in the hiking club, we can use the fact that 3/5 of the members went on the last hiking trip.
Let's denote the total number of members in the club as "x". We can set up a proportion to determine the value of x:
(3/5) * x = 39
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by (5/3) to cancel out the fraction:
[(3/5) * x] * (5/3) = 39 * (5/3)
Simplifying the equation, we have:
x = 39 * (5/3)
Evaluating the right side of the equation:
x = 195/3
To get the exact value, we divide 195 by 3:
x ≈ 65
Therefore, there are approximately 65 members in the hiking club.
