a1234 · Answer

Cross multiply and solve.

4 * 54 = 216

216/9 = 24

m = 24

whpalmer4 · Answer

$$\frac{4}{9} = \frac{m}{54}$$Cross-multiply to solve:
$$4*54 = m*9$$$$\frac{4*54}{9} = m =24 $$

I did cross multiply and i got 24 but it said it was wrong?

Did you copy the problem correctly?  $$\frac{4}{9}*\frac{6}{6} = \frac{24}{54}$$

Whatever your system says, you can take comfort in knowing that you correctly found the value of $m$ in the problem you showed us.  If you typed the answer wrong, or the system had the wrong answer programmed, or it was supposed to be a slightly different problem, well, whatever.  You did this one right as far as we're concerned :-)

Unless there is a problem with what you typed, 24 is correct.
