Multiply 16h by 16; the solution is 38.4
Multiply  16h by 16; the solution is 38.4

Multiply both sides by 16; the solution is 614.4
Multiply both sides by 16; the solution is 614.4

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 16h = 38.4 \), we need to isolate \( h \). The correct procedure is to divide both sides of the equation by 16:

\[ h = \frac{38.4}{16} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ h = 2.4 \]

So, the procedure to solve the equation is to divide both sides by 16, and the solution is \( h = 2.4 \).

None of the provided response options correctly describe the procedure and solution. The correct procedure is:

Divide both sides by 16; the solution is 2.4.
