Answer 2

4/12 = 6/n can be solved by cross multiplying.

Cross multiplying:

4n = 6 * 12

4n = 72

Dividing both sides by 4:

n = 18

Therefore, the missing number is 18.

Answer 3

To solve the proportion 8/15 = 12/a, we can cross multiply:

8 * a = 15 * 12

8a = 180

Divide both sides by 8:

a = 180/8

a = 22.5

Therefore, the missing number is 22.5.
