Square Rooted varible by itself (/x)

[bushman91]

Such a simple problem that I am stuck on...

1050=2700 /d
0.388=/d

how do i get "d" by itself? ( the "/" is square root not divide)
edit: is "D" diameter or distance... one is "d" and other is "D"

#1)

1050=2700*/sqrt(d)
1050^2=2700^2*d
d=1050^2/2700^2 =49/324

#2)

.388=/sqrt(d)
.388^2=d
d = .15054

Square both sides

thanks guys, i was thinking that, but in the question it was dealing with string vibrations were 1050hz and 2700hz and 1mm..

original question:

(1050)(/sqrt 1)=(2700)(/sqrt D)

got to that last part and forgot what to do so i did it like this:

if 1mm equals 1050hz - then 1/1050 would equal how many mm's per hz
it was 0.000952mm/1hz

so then 0.000952mm/1hz * 2700hz would equal my answer of 2.57mm but i guess its not right...

thanks again

Are those slashes part of the root sign ? 1050\sqrt{1}= 2700\sqrt{D} ? If so, just divide both sides by 2700.
