Question

I need to find a number that the "n" represents. The problem is 9/12=n/32

Answer 1

The given equation is

`(9)/(12) = (n)/(32)`

Here we have to solve for n. First we need to get rid of the denominators and for that we do cross multiplication .

`9*32 = 12n`

Now we need to isolate n. And for that we need to get rid of 12, by dividing both sides by 12

`(9*32)/(12)=n`

`(288)/(12) =n`

`n=24`

And that's the required value of n .
