How do you solve #4/n=12 #?

Answer 1

Savannah Anderson

#4/n=12#

#rArr 4=12n#

#rArr4/12=n#

#rArr cancel(4/12)=n#

#rArr 1/3=n#

Here I have taken the #n# and multiply it from #12#. After that take the #12# and divide it with #4# and the answer is #1/3#.

To solve ( \frac{4}{n} = 12 ), follow these steps:

Multiply both sides of the equation by ( n ): ( n \times \frac{4}{n} = n \times 12 )
Simplify: ( 4 = 12n )
Divide both sides by 12: ( \frac{4}{12} = \frac{12n}{12} )
Simplify: ( \frac{1}{3} = n ) or ( n = \frac{1}{3} )

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
