How do i find the missing number in a proportion?

24/12 = 8/x
Answered by Ms. Sue
You cross multiply and solve for x.
24x = 8 * 12
24x = 96
x = ??

Cross multiply then divide. I figured it out. the answer would be 32

24/12 = 8/32

24x = 8 * 12
24x = 96
96/24=4
So X=4
Answered by DrBob222
No, 24*x = 8*12
24x = 96
x = 96/24 = 4
Another way of looking at it is
24/12 = 8/x
2 = 8/x
2x = 8
x = 4

That's what i got. I got x = 4. Why you say No?
Answered by Ms. Sue
DrBob was responding to your answer. It is not 32.

Go back and look at your post.
You wrote, "Cross multiply then divide. I figured it out. the answer would be 32

24/12 = 8/32

<b>So, I said No. The answer is x = 4 and not 32.</b>
