Question

How do you solve 4/7=n/12

Answer 1

First, multiply both sides of the equation by 12. This will isolate $n$:

$\dfrac{4}{7} \cdot 12 = \dfrac{n}{12} \cdot 12$

$\dfrac{48}{7} = n$

Our answer is $\boxed{n = \dfrac{48}{7}}$.

Answer 2

4/7=N/12 cross multiply

7N=4*12

7N=48

N=48/7

So your answer is 6 6/7 or 6.8571428
