Question

Solve for f. 16/f = 12/9
A.13
B.12
C.11
D.10

Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

16/f = 12/9

Multiply f on both sides

(16/f) × f = (12/9) × f

16 = (12/9) × f

Now, multiply 9 on both sides

16 × 9 = (12/9) × 9 × f

144 = 12 × f

Now, divide both sides by 12

144/12 = (12/12) × f

12 = f

f = 12

Answer 2

B)12

Explanation:

`(16)/(f)=(12)/(9)\\\\16*9=12*f\\\\(16*9)/(12)=f\\\\ 4*3=f\\\\f=12`
