If 4 a b = 6.7 and a b n = 26.8 , what is the value of n ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is .0625 . It's given that 4 a b = 6.7 and a b n = 26.8 . The equation 4 a b = 6.7 can be rewritten as 4 a b = 6.7 . Dividing both sides of this equation by 4 yields a b = 1.675 . The equation a b n = 26.8 can be rewritten as a b 1 n = 26.8 . Substituting 1.675 for a b in this equation yields 1.675 1 n = 26.8 , or 1.675 n = 26.8 . Multiplying both sides of this equation by n yields 1.675 = 26.8 n . Dividing both sides of this equation by 26.8 yields n = 0.0625 . Therefore, the value of n is 0.0625 . Note that .0625, 0.062, 0.063, and 1/16 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
