  1. you cross mulitply.


  2. n    3

    --------

    6    8

    8n=18

    n=18/8=9/4=2.25

  3. Cross Multiply.

    n x 8 = 3 x 6

    8n = 18

    n = 18/8

  4. n = 2.25.. cross multiplay 8n = 18.. 18 divided by 8=n

  5. n/6 = 3/8

    You aim is to get n on its own so first thing to do is multiply n/6 by 6 which will leave n on its own and then multiply 3/8 x 6/1.  Putting the 6 over 1 just keeps everything simple and easy to follow when multiplying

    When multiplying fractions you just multiply the two numerators and then the two denominators.

    So n = 3 x 6/8 x 1

    n = 18/8 simplify by dividing both numbers by 2

    n = 9/4

  6. n= 18/3
