Solve the proportion for the missing number. (Use the Lesson 2 notes for help) 4/12 = 6n (1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the proportion 4/12 = 6n, we need to isolate the variable n.

First, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 6, which is 1/6.

(4/12) * (1/6) = (6n) * (1/6)

This simplifies to:

(4 * 1) / (12 * 6) = n

4/72 = n

Simplifying further, we get:

1/18 = n

Therefore, the missing number in the proportion is 1/18.
