Question

I need to find a number that the "n" represents. The problem is 9/12=n/32

Answer 1

The given equation is

$\frac{9}{12} = \frac{n}{32}$

Here we have to solve for n. First we need to get rid of the denominators and for that we do cross multiplication .

$9*32 = 12n$

Now we need to isolate n. And for that we need to get rid of 12, by dividing both sides by 12

$\frac{9*32}{12}=n$

$\frac{288}{12} =n$

$n=24$

And that's the required value of n .
