4v/27 = 16 You have to get rid of the 27 in the denominator, do so by multiplying both sides by the 27. Now you have: 4v = 432 Next you need to get rid of the 4 by dividing both sides by 4 Your answer is now: v = 108
here are the steps: 1. multiply both sides by 27. [tex] \frac{4v}{27} [/tex] x 27 = 16 x 27 2. refine. 4v = 432 3. divide both sides by 4. [tex] \frac{4v}{4} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{432}{4} [/tex] 4. refine. v = 108
