Solve for x 3/4=x/12

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{12}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{x}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$ .

$\frac{x}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $12$ .

$12 \frac{x}{12} = 12 (\frac{3}{4})$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $12$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$12 \frac{x}{12} = 12 (\frac{3}{4})$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 12 (\frac{3}{4})$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $12 (\frac{3}{4})$ .

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Factor $4$ out of $12$ .

$x = 4 (3) \frac{3}{4}$

Cancel the common factor.

$x = 4 \cdot 3 \frac{3}{4}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 3 \cdot 3$

Multiply $3$ by $3$ .

$x = 9$
