Question

Solve for g:

Answer 1

Hey there!

Assuming you meant: $\frac{5}{8} = \frac{12}{g}$

If so, follow these steps! (if you want to!)

So, let's cross multiply

Like: $5(g) = 12(8)$

$5(g) = 5g \\ 12(8) = 96$

We get: $5g = 96$

Divide both sides of your equation by $5$

$\frac{5g}{5} = \frac{96}{5}$

Cancel out $\frac{5g}{5}$ because it'll give you a outcome of a $1$

Keep: $\frac{96}{5}$ because that one solve for your answer

$\frac{96}{5} = 19.2$

Answer to your equation: $19.2$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
