Answer 1

Solution:

Note that:

• Given equation: 1/5 x n = 3

Simplify the LHS, then use cross multiplication to solve for n.

• 1/5 x n = 3
• => n/5 = 3
• => n = 3 x 5
• => n = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

n = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{1}{5}n=3$

Multiply both sides by 5:

$\implies n = 3 \times 5 = 15$
