Try the numbers 22, 23, 24, 25 in the equation 4/3 = 32/d to test whether any of them is a solution. a. 23 is a solution. c. 24 is a solution. b. 25 is a solution. d. 22 is a solution.

Respuesta :

Answer:

c. 24 is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{d}[/tex]

To test the numbers 22, 23, 24, 25 for the solution.

Solution:

In order to test the given number for the solution, we will plugin each number in the unknown variable [tex]d[/tex] and see if it satisfies the equation.

1) [tex]d=22[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{22}[/tex]

Reducing fraction to simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their G.C.F.

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32\div 2}{22\div 2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{16}{11}[/tex]

The above statement can never be true and hence 22 is not a solution.

2) [tex]d=23[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{23}[/tex]

The fractions can no further be reduced.

The statement can never be true and hence 23 is not a solution.

3) [tex]d=24[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{24}[/tex]

Reducing fraction to simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their G.C.F.

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32\div 8}{24\div 8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

The above statement is always true and hence 24 is a solution.

4) [tex]d=25[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{25}[/tex]

The fractions can no further be reduced.

The statement can never be true and hence 25 is not a solution.
