could you help me with this question please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just have to solve for 'b'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me through the step please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } = \frac{ b }{ 12 }\] multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to get rid of the 12 under b. The result is the value of b.
