Which procedure can be used to solve the equation [tex]16h = 38.4[/tex], and what is the solution?

A. Divide 16h by 16; the solution is 38.4.

B. Multiply 16h by 16; the solution is 38.4.

C. Divide both sides by 16; the solution is 2.4.

D. Multiply both sides by 16; the solution is 614.4.

Answer :

We start with the equation

[tex]$$
16h = 38.4.
$$[/tex]

Our goal is to isolate the variable [tex]$h$[/tex]. To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by [tex]$16$[/tex]. This gives:

[tex]$$
h = \frac{38.4}{16}.
$$[/tex]

Carrying out the division, we get

[tex]$$
h = 2.4.
$$[/tex]

Thus, the procedure is to divide both sides of the equation by [tex]$16$[/tex], and the solution is [tex]$h = 2.4$[/tex].
