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
