thank you for trying to help me. but im still confused. Im not very good at math. sorry
What you're saying in this proportion is:
60 is to 12 as an unknown is to 4.
60/12 = x/4
12x = 240
Divide both sides of the equation by 12 to find the value of x.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember how to do your other math problem. I'm basically a social studies and English teacher.
