Question

Use the Cross Products Property to solve the proportion. x/8=3/12

Answer 1

`x = 2`

Explanation:

1) Simplify 3/12 to 1/4.

`(x)/(8) = (1)/(4)`

2) Multiply both sides by 8.

`x = (1)/(4) * 8`

3) Simplify 1/4 × 8 to 8/4.

`x = (8)/(4)`

4) Simplify 8/4 to 2.

`x = 2`

Therefor, the answer is x = 2.
