Question

Solve the proportion 2/3=n/12

Answer 1

We need to cross multiply
So we start off by multiplying the numerator of the right fraction by the denominator of the left fraction, and the same thing only switched around. We get the equation:
3n=24
divide both sides by 3 to get
n=8

Answer 2

2/3=x/12 2x12=24divided by 3=8
