The product of blank and four is equal to the product of eight & twelve
Let us say that this blank is x
So:
\(\sf{x \times4=8\times 12}\)
Simplyfying that:
\(\sf{4x=96}\)
Dividing 4 on both sides:
\(\sf{x=24}\)
So this blank would be \(\boxed{\sf{24}}\)
So,
We can write this as an equation.
x 4 = 8 12
4x = 8(12)
Distribute.
4x = 96
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 24
Check.
24 4 = 8 12
96 = 96 This checks.
The product of twenty-four and four is equal to the product of eight and twelve.
