Question

Solve the proportion.
c/88
=
12/11
c=

Answer 1

To solve the proportion \(\frac{c}{88} = \frac{12}{11}\), we can cross-multiply:

\[
c \cdot 11 = 12 \cdot 88
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
12 \cdot 88 = 1056
\]

Now the equation becomes:

\[
11c = 1056
\]

Next, divide both sides by 11 to solve for \(c\):

\[
c = \frac{1056}{11}
\]

Calculating \( \frac{1056}{11} \):

\[
c = 96
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
c = 96
\]
