Question

Solve for v.
.
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

`v=9`

Explanation:

The given equation is

`(v)/(12)=(6)/(8)`.

We multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to obtain,

`12* (v)/(12)=(6)/(8)* 12`.

This implies that;

`v=(3)/(4) * 12`

This gives

`v=(3)/(1) * 3`

`v=3* 3`

`v=9`

Answer 2

v = 9

Explanation:

Use the method of cross- multiplying

`(a)/(b)` =
`(c)/(d)` ⇒ ad = bc

8v = 12 × 6

8v = 72 ( divide both sides by 8 )

v = 9
