Chapter 6, Problem 12CT

To determine

To solve : the proportion $\frac{9}{t}=\frac{3}{8}$

Answer to Problem 12CT

The solution of the proportion $\frac{9}{t}=\frac{3}{8}$ is $t=24$

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Consider, the proportion

  $\frac{9}{t}=\frac{3}{8}$

Calculation:

Therefore, the solution of proportion is

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{9}{t}=\frac{3}{8}\\ 9\cdot 8=3\cdot t\left[\text{cross product property}\right]\\ 72=3t\left[\text{multiply}\right]\\ 24=t\left[\text{divide both side with 3}\right]\end{array}$

Hence,The solution of the proportion $\frac{9}{t}=\frac{3}{8}$ is $t=24$
