Question

If 2/3=x/12 what is the value of x​

Answer 1

The best thing to do is get this into a non-denominator form as soon as possible.

`(2)/(3) =(x)/(12)`

multiply both sides by 12

`12*(2)/(3) =12*(x)/(12)`

Notice that 3 can be divided out of 12

`4*3*(2)/(3) = x`

Simplify and solve

`4*2 = x\\8=x`

The value of x is 8
