Transcript text: Solve for $x$ \[ \frac{x}{8}=\frac{3}{12} \] Simplify your answer as much as possible. \[ x= \]

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Simplify the right-hand side of the equation

The given equation is: \[ \frac{x}{8} = \frac{3}{12} \] First, simplify the fraction on the right-hand side: \[ \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} \] So the equation becomes: \[ \frac{x}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \]

Step 2: Solve for $x$

To solve for $x$, multiply both sides of the equation by 8: \[ x = 8 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \] \[ x = 2 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{x = 2} \]
