3/4 = 12/x
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(3)(x) = (4)(12)
3x = 48
x = 48/3
x = 16

now notice this.....12/16 reduces to 3/4....probability's are nothing but equivalent fractions

Answer:

[tex]x=16[/tex]  is the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the two terms which are equivalent means they have equal value:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{12}{x}[/tex]

So, by the given information:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}=\frac{12}{x}[/tex] we have to solve for x:

Firstly, we will cross multiply so, we will get:

[tex]3x=48[/tex]

After simplification we will get the final result

[tex]x=16[/tex]  is the value of x.
