To solve the proportion 3/4 = x/16, we can use cross-multiplication, which involves multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction, and then setting the two products equal to each other. This gives:

3/4 = x/16

4x = 3 * 16

4x = 48

x = 48/4

x = 12

Therefore, the solution to the proportion 3/4 = x/16 is x = 12.
