Solve for v (1.20)(v)=(1.98)(296)

$(1.2) (v) = (1.98) (296)$

Step 1

Multiply $1.98$ by $296$ .

$1.2 v = 586.08$

Step 2

Divide each term in $1.2 v = 586.08$ by $1.2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $1.2 v = 586.08$ by $1.2$ .

$\frac{1.2 v}{1.2} = \frac{586.08}{1.2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $1.2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1.2 v}{1.2} = \frac{586.08}{1.2}$

Divide $v$ by $1$ .

$v = \frac{586.08}{1.2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $586.08$ by $1.2$ .

$v = 488.4$
