Question

I will give brainliest for first correct answer! Claire correctly solved the proportion x/4 = 36/6 for x by using cross products to get the equation 16 x = 144 and then dividing both sides by 16 to get x = 9. She showed that she can use cross products to solve the proportion because she gets the same answer if the solves it as shown (look at image).
What property allowed her to go from x/4 = 36/6 to x/4 times 4 = 36/16 times 4?
