Solve for n:
%28n%2F9%29%2A%283%2F4%29+=+5%2F12 Divide both sides by 3%2F4 which really means multiply both sides by 4%2F3.
%28n%2F9%29%2A%283%2F4%29%2A%284%2F3%29+=+%285%2F12%29%2A%284%2F3%29 Evaluate.
n%2F9+=+5%2F9 Multiply both sides by 9.
%28n%2F9%29%2A%289%2F1%29+=+%285%2F9%29%2A%289%2F1%29 Cancel the 9's
highlight%28n+=+5%29
