Question

I need to solve this proportion, I need help explain this to me n/12 = 3/8

Answer 1

well you really need to understand equivalent fractions to solve this

\[\frac{n}{12} = \frac{3}{8}\]

if you compare 12 and 8 you may see

8 x 1.5 = 12

so apply the same logic to te numerators to find n
