Answer:

24 and 45

Explanation:

Okay, now that I can answer this question with the right answers:

The easy way to do this is to first solve the left hand side of the equation.

1/2 of 12 is the same as 12/2 = 6.

So 6 = 1/4 * x

To solve for that unknown x, just multiply both sides by 4 to cancel out the fraction:

6*4 = 4* 1/4*x

24 = x

For the other equation, do the same thing:

1/3 * 90 = 90/3 = 30

30 = 2/3*x

30*3 = 3* 2/3 *x

90 = 2x

90/2 = 2x/2

45 = x
