Solve the proportion.
48/96 = a/16
a = [__]
To solve the proportion, we can cross multiply.
48 * 16 = 96 * a
768 = 96a
Dividing both sides of the equation by 96:
768/96 = a
8 = a
So, a = 8.
48/96 = a/16
a = [__]
48 * 16 = 96 * a
768 = 96a
Dividing both sides of the equation by 96:
768/96 = a
8 = a
So, a = 8.
