(7)/(10)=(c)/(25)
Since c is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
(c)/(25)=(7)/(10)
Multiply each term in the equation by 25.
(c)/(25)*25=(7)/(10)*25
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
c=(7)/(10)*25
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
c=(35)/(2)
which equals:
(35)/(2)
The approximate value of (35)/(2) is 17.5.
17.5
