Answer:

r=144

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply:

12 * 60 = r * 5

Simplifying

12 * 60 = r * 5

Multiply 12 * 60

720 = r * 5

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

720 = 5r

Solving

720 = 5r

Solving for variable 'r'.

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5r' to each side of the equation.

720 + -5r = 5r + -5r

Combine like terms: 5r + -5r = 0

720 + -5r = 0

Add '-720' to each side of the equation.

720 + -720 + -5r = 0 + -720

Combine like terms: 720 + -720 = 0

0 + -5r = 0 + -720

-5r = 0 + -720

Combine like terms: 0 + -720 = -720

-5r = -720

Divide each side by '-5'.

r = 144

Simplifying

r = 144

Answer:

r=144

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find r. To do that me must make the top numbers the same.

We'll multiply

[tex] \frac{12}{r} \times \frac{5}{5 } = \frac{60}{5r} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{5}{60} \times \frac{12}{12} = \frac{60}{720} [/tex]

Since the top numbers are equal that means the bottoms are too.

So we can create the equation:

[tex]5r = 720[/tex]

Divide each side by 5

r=144
