Question

If 3/4 and 12/x are equivalent, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

3/4 = 12/x
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(3)(x) = (4)(12)
3x = 48
x = 48/3
x = 16

now notice this.....12/16 reduces to 3/4....probability's are nothing but equivalent fractions

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=16$  is the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the two terms which are equivalent means they have equal value:

$\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{12}{x}$

So, by the given information:

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{12}{x}$ we have to solve for x:

Firstly, we will cross multiply so, we will get:

$3x=48$

After simplification we will get the final result

$x=16$  is the value of x.
