For which value of m is start fraction 4 over 16 end fraction equals start fraction m over 24 end fraction a proportion?
A. m = 6
B. m = 8
C. m = 12
D. m = 14
We can cross-multiply to see if the fractions are proportional:
4/16 = m/24
Multiplying both sides by 24:
(4/16) * 24 = m
Simplifying:
6 = m
Therefore, the answer is A. m = 6.
