could you show me the steps to solving this

Question

5/14        M

------  =  ----

12            21

Answer 1

Multiply both sides of this PROPORTION by 21, thus obtaining M alone on the right side.

 

Thus M = (5/14)(21) ÷ 12 which is something that I hope you can handle. You can get

(1/12)(5/14)(21) as the next step. I leave the rest to you.
