s\times 40km=hm
Variable h cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by hs, the least common multiple of h,s.
hm=s\times 40km
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
mh=40kms
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{mh}{m}=\frac{40kms}{m}
Divide both sides by m.
h=\frac{40kms}{m}
Dividing by m undoes the multiplication by m.
h=40ks
Divide 40skm by m.
h=40ks\text{, }h\neq 0
Variable h cannot be equal to 0.
s\times 40km=hm
Multiply both sides of the equation by hs, the least common multiple of h,s.
40kms=hm
Reorder the terms.
40msk=hm
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{40msk}{40ms}=\frac{hm}{40ms}
Divide both sides by 40ms.
k=\frac{hm}{40ms}
Dividing by 40ms undoes the multiplication by 40ms.
k=\frac{h}{40s}
Divide hm by 40ms.
