Answer:

Explanation:


(5)/(8) = (12)/(g)

Multiplying both sides by
g gives us the following:


(5g)/(8) = 12

Multiplying both sides by 8 gives us the following:


5g = 108

Dividing both sides by 5 gives us the answer:


g = 21.6

Hello.

To do this problem, cross multiply.

(8)(12)= 5g

96 = 5g

g = 96/5

g= 19.2

Hope that helped!
