13/m=26/4

1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{13}{m} = \frac{26}{4} \), you can start by simplifying the right side.

First, simplify \( \frac{26}{4} \):

\[ \frac{26}{4} = \frac{13}{2} \]

Now, you have the equation:

\[ \frac{13}{m} = \frac{13}{2} \]

Next, you can cross-multiply:

\[ 13 \cdot 2 = 13 \cdot m \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 26 = 13m \]

Now, divide both sides by 13 to solve for \( m \):

\[ m = \frac{26}{13} = 2 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ m = 2 \]
