Question

What is the solution to the equation x/4 = 6/12?



x= 1
x= 2
x= 4
x= 8

Answer 1

x=6/12.4 :)

Answer 2

@cake \[\frac{ x }{ 4 }=\frac{ 6 }{ 12 }\]
Cross multiply:
\[12x=24\]
Divide both sides by 18 and you'll get
x=2

Answer 3

isn't \(\frac{6}{12}\) the same as \(\frac{1}{2}\) ?

Answer 4

if \(\frac{x}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\) then \(x=4\times \frac{1}{2}=2\)

Answer 5

2 or 6

Answer 6

i guess 2

Answer 7

I agree with @SweetsAndEverything ...set it up as a proportion and then cross multiply,solving for x. Answer is 2.

Answer 8

@cake Yes, it's 2. :)
