m = 16
8 6


Cross multiply:
m * 6 = 8 * 16

Simplifying
m * 6 = 8 * 16

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
6m = 8 * 16

Multiply 8 * 16
6m = 128

Solving
6m = 128

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '6'.
m = 21.33333333

Simplifying
m = 21.33333333
