Question

Use the division property of equality to rearrange the equation V=lwh
for the quantity of interest h.

Answer 1

To rearrange the equation \( V = lwh \) for the quantity \( h \) using the division property of equality, follow these steps:

1. Start with the original equation:
\[
V = lwh
\]

2. To isolate \( h \), divide both sides of the equation by \( lw \) (the product of \( l \) and \( w \)):
\[
\frac{V}{lw} = h
\]

3. This simplifies to:
\[
h = \frac{V}{lw}
\]

Now you have the equation rearranged for \( h \):
\[
h = \frac{V}{lw}
\]
