The product of two numbers is 48, and one of the numbers is 12. find the other number. which equation can be used to solve this problem? a) 48x = 12 b) 12x = 48 c) x 12 = 48 d) x 48 = 12

The Answer Is B: 12x=48 :) x represents the number that is being multiplied by 12, and we already have our answer, which is 48. Hope I helped, if you need anything else just ask :)

Hi

First, let's find the equation, by solving each equation.

A) 48x = 12
12/48 = 0.25
Check if that fits in with the problem. 
12 x 0.25 = 48?
Nope, 
12 x 0.25 = 3

B) 12x = 48
48/12 = 4
Check if that fits in with the problem.
12 x 4 = 48?
Yes!
12 x 4 = 48

The answer is B.

Hope this helps! :)

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
