You asked:

Solve \(n : 3=12 : 18\) for the variable \(n\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}n &= 2\end{aligned}$$

Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{n}{3} = \frac{12}{18}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{n}{3} &= \frac{12}{18} \\ 18 n &= 36 \\ n &&= 2 \end{aligned}$$
