$$\frac { 28 x } { 12 } = \frac { 3 } { 8 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{9}{56}\approx 0.160714286$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 12.

$$28x=\frac{3}{8}\times 12$$

Express \frac{3}{8}\times 12 as a single fraction.

$$28x=\frac{3\times 12}{8}$$

Multiply 3 and 12 to get 36.

$$28x=\frac{36}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{36}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$28x=\frac{9}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 28.

$$x=\frac{\frac{9}{2}}{28}$$

Express \frac{\frac{9}{2}}{28} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{9}{2\times 28}$$

Multiply 2 and 28 to get 56.

$$x=\frac{9}{56}$$
