Question

Solve for g:

5   12
_ = _

8    g


g = 3.3

g = 7.5

g = 24

g = 19.2

Answer 1

`(5)/(8)=(12)/(g)\ \ \ |\text{cross multiply}\\\\5\cdot g=8\cdot12\\\\5g=96\ \ \ |:5\\\\g=19.2`

Answer 2

Hey there!

Assuming you meant:
`(5)/(8) = (12)/(g)`

If so, follow these steps! (if you want to!)

So, let's cross multiply

Like:
`5(g) = 12(8)`

`5(g) = 5g \\ 12(8) = 96`

We get:
`5g = 96`

Divide both sides of your equation by
`5`

`(5g)/(5) = (96)/(5)`

Cancel out
`(5g)/(5)` because it'll give you a outcome of a
`1`

Keep:
`(96)/(5)` because that one solve for your answer

`(96)/(5) = 19.2`

Answer to your equation:
`19.2`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
