You have to cross multiply the two proportions.
4(54)= 216
9(m)= 9m
then you divide 216 by 9, giving you the answer for m.
216/9= 24
m=24
Hey!
Let's make a proportion:
[tex] \frac{4}{9} = \frac{m}{54} [/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex] 54 \times 4 = 216 [/tex]
Divide by 9
[tex] 216 \div 9 = 24 [/tex]
That means your answer is 24
