Solve 31/d=87.3/46.6

$$\frac { 31 } { d } = \frac { 87.3 } { 46.6 }$$

Solve for d

$$d = \frac{14446}{873} = 16\frac{478}{873} \approx 16.547537228$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable d cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by d.

$$31=d\times \frac{87.3}{46.6}$$

Expand \frac{87.3}{46.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$31=d\times \frac{873}{466}$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$d\times \frac{873}{466}=31$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{466}{873}, the reciprocal of \frac{873}{466}.

$$d=31\times \frac{466}{873}$$

Express 31\times \frac{466}{873} as a single fraction.

$$d=\frac{31\times 466}{873}$$

Multiply 31 and 466 to get 14446.

$$d=\frac{14446}{873}$$
