Solving proportions using cross products:

Question

32/12 = 64/k

Answer 1

To solve this proportion using cross products, we can cross-multiply.

Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction.

32 * k = 12 * 64

32k = 768

Divide both sides of the equation by 32:
k = 768 / 32

Simplify the right side:
k = 24

So the value of k that satisfies the proportion is 24.
