Question

Use the Cross Products Property to solve the proportion. x/8=3/12

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 3/12 to 1/4.

$\frac{x}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$

2) Multiply both sides by 8.

$x = \frac{1}{4} \times 8$

3) Simplify 1/4 × 8 to 8/4.

$x = \frac{8}{4}$

4) Simplify 8/4 to 2.

$x = 2$

Therefor, the answer is x = 2.
