Hi there!
Steps to solving [tex] \frac{3}{8} = \frac{x}{32} [/tex] are below.
1) Cross multiply. I personally love cross-multiplication.
[tex](3) * (32) = x * (8)
96 = 8x[/tex]
2) FLIP the equation.
[tex]8x = 96[/tex]
3) Divide both sides by 8.
[tex] \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{96}{8} [/tex]
[tex]x = 12[/tex]
As you can see, [tex]x = 12[/tex].
If you're in doubt of this answer simply replace the [tex]x[/tex] in the equation with [tex]12[/tex]. You should get the same answer as shown in the equation.
Hope this helps!
