Question

If 3/4 and 12/x are equlvalent, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

so 3/4 = 12/x

you Can multiply 3/4 by 4 to get

12/16 = 12 / x

you can assume x = 16 since the numerators are the same

Answer 2

`(3)/(4) = (12)/(x) \\ 3x = (12 * 4) \\ x = ((12 * 4))/(3) \\ x = (4 * 4) \\ x = 16`
