The Division Property of Equality states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

In the equation \( PV = nRT \), to solve for a variable using division, you would rearrange it by dividing both sides by \( nR \) to isolate \( T \):

Starting from \( PV = nRT \), dividing both sides by \( nR \) gives:

\[ T = \frac{PV}{nR} \]

However, among the responses, the one that best represents the use of the Division Property of Equality in this context is:

  • \( T = \frac{PV}{nR} \)

This correctly illustrates rearranging the equation using division.
