What is a.missing term in each proportion 6:n = 8:12

Answer 1

I believe N = 8

Answer 2

We are given the proportion:

6:n = 8:12

rewriting as fractions:

6 / n = 8 / 12

Solving for n:

6 = (8/12) * n [multiplying both sides by n]

n = 6 / (8/12) [dividing both sides by (8/12)]

n = 6*12 / 8

n = 9
