Answer:
[tex]z = 6.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take a look at the problem, we are solving for z.
[tex]\frac{118}{13} = \frac{59}{z}[/tex]
To figure it out, we have to cross multiply. So we take [tex]118 * z[/tex] and [tex]59 * 13[/tex], which gives us [tex]118z =767\\[/tex]. Next, we divide both sides with 118.
[tex]\frac{118}{118}z=\frac{767}{118}\\ \\z = 6.5[/tex]
Then, we get 6.5 as our answer!
Hope this helped!
