Answer to Problem 32SGR

On solving proportion, $d=14$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Proportion is $\frac{28}{24}=\frac{d}{12}$

Calculation:

Given proportion as follows:

  $\frac{28}{24}=\frac{d}{12}$

On solving the above proportion,

  $\begin{array}{l}28\times 12=d\times 24\\ d\times 24=28\times 12\\ d=\frac{28\times 12}{24}\\ d=\frac{28\times 1}{2}\\ d=\frac{14\times 1}{1}\\ d=14\end{array}$

Hence, $d=14$
