Question

solve the proportion using the Multiplication Property of Equality 3/16=x/12

Answer 1

We are given the following proportion:

$\frac{3}{16}=\frac{x}{12}$

To solve for "x" we first multiply by 12 on both sides:

$3\times\frac{12}{16}=x\times\frac{12}{12}$

Solving the operations:

$\frac{36}{16}=x$

Simplifying:

$\frac{9}{4}=x$

Therefore, x = 9/4
