What's 4/3 = blank /12

Answer 1

This is a ratio problem 4/3 = blank /12 , let blank the unknown value = X, then

4/3 = X /12, cross multiply, 3 x X = 4 x 12 , 3 x X = 48, divide both sides by 3, ( 3X/3) = (48/3), and X = 16

The solution is 16 which is the blank value

Answer 2

4 / 3 = x / 12

12 = 4(3), so

x = 4(4)
