Answer:

d = 15

Explanation:

Divide the numbers


(20)/(16) =(d)/(12)


(5)/(4) =(d)/(12)

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators


12*(5)/(4) =12*(d)/(12)

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator


12*(5)/(4) =d

Multiply the numbers


15=d

Move the variable to the left


d=15

Hence, d= 15.
