Set up this proportion and cross multiply. Solve for x.
60/12 = x/4
thank you for trying to help me. but im still confused. Im not very good at math. sorry
What you're saying in this proportion is:
60 is to 12 as an unknown is to 4.
60/12 = x/4
12x = 240
Divide both sides of the equation by 12 to find the value of x.
ooooohhhhhhhh ok... thank you so much!!!!
is there any way u can help me with my other math problem?
You're very welcome.
I'm sorry, but I don't remember how to do your other math problem. I'm basically a social studies and English teacher.
oh ok. thank you any ways! i appreciate it.
