Question

What is the solution to the equation?

3/8=m/32

a. 4
b. 16
c. 24
d. 12

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the value of \( m \) in the equation \( \frac{3}{8} = \frac{m}{32} \), you can cross-multiply to solve for \( m \):

\[ 3 \times 32 = 8 \times m \]

\[ 96 = 8m \]

Now, divide both sides by 8 to isolate \( m \):

\[ m = \frac{96}{8} = 12 \]

So, the solution is \( m = 12 \), which corresponds to option:

d. 12
