Question

Solve for h in the proportion.

85/68 = 75/h


h =

Answer 1

To solve for \( h \) in the proportion \( \frac{85}{68} = \frac{75}{h} \), we can use cross-multiplication.

Cross-multiplying gives us:

\[
85h = 75 \cdot 68
\]

Now, calculate \( 75 \cdot 68 \):

\[
75 \cdot 68 = 5100
\]

So, we have:

\[
85h = 5100
\]

Now, divide both sides by 85 to solve for \( h \):

\[
h = \frac{5100}{85}
\]

Calculating \( \frac{5100}{85} \):

\[
h = 60
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
h = 60
\]
