Given the statement:
5 = 1 5/w
Solution:
In order to determine the value of w, we convert first the mixed number to improper fraction. To do so, simply multiply the whole number to the denominator and then add the product to the numerator.
5 = 1 5/w
5 = 6w/w
5 = 6w
Divide both sides by 6 in order to cancel out 6w, leaving behind w.
6w/6 = 5/6
w = 5/6
Final answer:
w = 5/6
