Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = 72

Explanation:

Multiply by 1500 mL.

`\displaystyle\frac{12\text{ mL}}{250\text{ mL}}=\frac{x\text{ mL}}{1500\text{ mL}}\\\\\frac{12\text{ mL}}{250\text{ mL}}\cdot1500\text{ mL}=\frac{x\text{ mL}}{1500\text{ mL}}\cdot1500\text{ mL}\\\\12\text{ mL}\cdot(1500)/(250)=x\text{ mL}\\\\72\text{ mL}=x\text{ mL}\quad\Rightarrow\quad\boxed{x=72}`
