8/96= */12

To solve the equation \( \frac{8}{96} = \frac{x}{12} \), you can use cross-multiplication to find the value of \( x \). 1. Cross-multiply to get: \[ 8 \times 12 = 96 \times x \] 2. Calculate \( 8 \times 12 \): \[ 96 = 96x \] 3. Now, divide both sides by 96: \[ x = \frac{96}{96} = 1 \] So, the value of \( x \) is \( 1 \). Final equation: \[ \frac{8}{96} = \frac{1}{12} \]
