Respuesta :

3/12 = x/16 (multiple both sides by 16)
48/12 = x (simply left side)
4 = x

Answer:

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent each ratio as a fraction, then use the cross products property to find the value of x.

[tex]\frac{3}{12} = \frac{x}{16} \\\\\\16\cdot3=48\\\\48\div12=4[/tex]

Hope this helped!
