I need help with this problem. Please help
60/12 = x/8
x = ?
Cross multiply and solve for x.
60/12 = x/8
12x = 480
x = 480/12 = 40
Thanks for the help. :)
You're welcome.
To solve for x in the equation 60/12 = x/8, you can use cross-multiplication. Here's how:
Step 1: Cross-multiply the equation. Multiply the numerator of the left-hand side by the denominator of the right-hand side and vice versa:
12 * x = 60 * 8
Step 2: Solve for x. Divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate x:
x = (60 * 8) / 12
Step 3: Simplify the expression:
x = 480 / 12
x = 40
Therefore, the value of x is 40.
