Solve for n.

3/4c = 3/8

1 answer

To solve for \( c \) in the equation

\[ \frac{3}{4}c = \frac{3}{8} \]

we can first eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4:

\[ 4 \cdot \left(\frac{3}{4}c\right) = 4 \cdot \left(\frac{3}{8}\right) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 3c = \frac{3 \cdot 4}{8} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ \frac{3 \cdot 4}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} \]

So we have:

\[ 3c = \frac{3}{2} \]

Next, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( c \):

\[ c = \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{3} = \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Thus,

\[ c = \frac{1}{2} \]

The solution is

\[ c = \frac{1}{2} \]
