Solve 5/m=0.2/13

$$\frac { 5 } { m } = \frac { 0.2 } { 13 }$$

Solve for m

$$m=325$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable m cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 13m, the least common multiple of m,13.

$$13\times 5=m\times 0.2$$

Multiply 13 and 5 to get 65.

$$65=m\times 0.2$$

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

$$m\times 0.2=65$$

Divide both sides by 0.2.

$$m=\frac{65}{0.2}$$

Expand \frac{65}{0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$m=\frac{650}{2}$$

Divide 650 by 2 to get 325.

$$m=325$$
