To solve the proportion \(\frac{m}{36} = \frac{5}{9}\), you can cross-multiply:
\[
m \cdot 9 = 5 \cdot 36
\]
Now, calculate \(5 \cdot 36\):
\[
5 \cdot 36 = 180
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
9m = 180
\]
Next, divide both sides by 9 to isolate \(m\):
\[
m = \frac{180}{9} = 20
\]
Therefore, the value of \(m\) is \(20\).
\[
m \cdot 9 = 5 \cdot 36
\]
Now, calculate \(5 \cdot 36\):
\[
5 \cdot 36 = 180
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
9m = 180
\]
Next, divide both sides by 9 to isolate \(m\):
\[
m = \frac{180}{9} = 20
\]
Therefore, the value of \(m\) is \(20\).
