Question 159077
{{{(1/8)*B = 6}}}
Is this it?
If so, multiplying both sides of an equation by a number
(any number) doesn't change the truth of the equation, so
multiply both sides by {{{8}}}
{{{8*(1/8)*B = 8*6}}}
Note that {{{8*(1/8) = 1}}}
{{{B = 48}}} answer
-------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand, if the problem is {{{1/8B = 6}}}
you should multiply both sides by {{{8B}}}
{{{8B*(1/8B) = 8B*6}}}
{{{1 = 48B}}}
Now divide both sides by {{{48}}}
{{{1/48 = (48/48)*B}}}
Note that {{{48/48 = 1}}}
{{{B = 1/48}}} answer
