Question

Solve for v. . Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the method of cross- multiplying

$\frac{a}{b}$ = $\frac{c}{d}$ ⇒ ad = bc

8v = 12 × 6

8v = 72 ( divide both sides by 8 )

v = 9

Answer 2

Answer:

$v=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\frac{v}{12}=\frac{6}{8}$.

We multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to obtain,

$12\times \frac{v}{12}=\frac{6}{8}\times 12$.

This implies that;

$v=\frac{3}{4} \times 12$

This gives

$v=\frac{3}{1} \times 3$

$v=3\times 3$

$v=9$
