Question

Solve the proportion using the Multiplication Property of Equality 3/16=x/12

Answer 1

We are given the following proportion:

`(3)/(16)=(x)/(12)`

To solve for "x" we first multiply by 12 on both sides:

`3*(12)/(16)=x*(12)/(12)`

Solving the operations:

`(36)/(16)=x`

Simplifying:

`(9)/(4)=x`

Therefore, x = 9/4
