Calculation:
In order to solve the given equation

\frac{1}{0.19} = \frac{12}{n}

for the variable, isolate the variable term n on one side by performing some basic algebraic operations to get rid of the other numbers and terms associated with it.
Here to isolate n both side, first multiply both sides by 0.19 and then multiply both sides by n and then simplify as shown below,

\frac{1}{0.19} = \frac{12}{n}

\frac{1}{19} \cdot 0.19 = \frac{12}{n} \cdot 0.19

1 = \frac{2.28}{n}

n = \frac{2.28}{n} \cdot n

n = 2.28

Thus, the solution of the proportion is

n = 2.28

Step 1 10.19=12n Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n. n×(10.19)=12 Expand 10.19 by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100. n×(10019)=12 Multiply both sides by 19100, the reciprocal of 10019 n=12×(19100) Express 12×(19100) as a single fraction n=12×19100 Multiply 12 and 19 to get 228. n=228100 Reduce the fraction 228100 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4. n=5725
