Question

1. solve the equation by multiplying by the reciprocal \\(\frac{2c}{15} = 8.8\\) answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate term with $c$, multiply by 15

Multiply both sides by 15 to eliminate denominator:
$$15 \times \frac{2c}{15} = 8.8 \times 15$$
$$2c = 132$$

Step2: Solve for $c$, multiply by reciprocal

Multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{2}$ (reciprocal of 2):
$$\frac{1}{2} \times 2c = 132 \times \frac{1}{2}$$
$$c = 66$$

Answer:

$c = 66$
