Question

3/8=x/32
Then What Is X

Answer 1

Hi there!

Steps to solving
`(3)/(8) = (x)/(32)` are below.

1) Cross multiply. I personally love cross-multiplication.


`(3) * (32) = x * (8) 96 = 8x`

2) FLIP the equation.


`8x = 96`

3) Divide both sides by 8.


`(8x)/(8) = (96)/(8)`


`x = 12`

As you can see,
`x = 12`.

If you're in doubt of this answer simply replace the
`x` in the equation with
`12`. You should get the same answer as shown in the equation.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

X is equal to 12

3/8 x 32 = x
96/8 = x
12 = x
