0.048%2Fc+=+0.018814 Start with the given equation


0.048=+0.018814c Multiply both sides by "c"


0.048%2F0.018814=c Divide both sides by 0.018814 to isolate "c"


2.55129=c Divide


c=2.55129 Rearrange the equation


So the answer is c=2.55 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

multiply both sides by c and then divide both sides by .018814.
.048%2Fc=.018814
...multiplication property of equality...
.048=.018814c
...division property of equality...
.048%2F.018814=c
