Question

Solve the following proportion: 8/r = 18/12

Answer 1

r=16/3 if u want me to explain i can

Explanation:

Simplify 18/12 to 3/2

8/2=3/2

Multiply both sides by r.

18=3/2r

Simplify 3/2r to 3r/2

8=3/2r

Multiply both sides by 2.

8×2=3r

Simplify 8 x 2 to 16

16=3r

Divide both sides by 3

so the answer is r=16/3
