State the number you would multiply each side of the proportion by to isolate the variable.

t/15=2/5

15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the proportion:

t/15=2/5

We want to isolate the variable, t.

t is being divided by 15. If we wanted to get t by itself, we would multiply both sides of the proportion of 15. This is because we preform the opposite of what is being done to the variable, and multiplication is the opposite of division.

15*t/15=2/5*15

This will cancel out the 15 in the denominator, and leave us with:

t=2/5*15

t=6

15

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to isolate the variable, you would want to cancel out the 15 in the denominator. So, when you multiply by 15 you get t=30/5, or 6.
