Answer: b. 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common multiplier, we need to know what number x represent.
x/12 = 24/36
cross multiply
36x = 288
Divide bothside by 36
36x/36 = 288/36
x=8
so, it is ;
8/12 = 24/36
we simply find a number that we will multiply by 8 to give us 24 or multiply by 12 to give us 36.
we can get that number by;
24÷8 = 3
or 36÷12 =3
so 3 is the common multiplier
