Identify Proportion: Identify the proportion and set up the equation. $\newline$ We have the proportion $\frac{10}{8} = \frac{b}{12}$ .
Cross-Multiply: Cross-multiply to solve for b. $\newline$ $10 \times 12 = 8 \times b$ $\newline$ $120 = 8b$
Divide to Isolate b: Divide both sides by $8$ to isolate b. $\newline$ $b = \frac{120}{8}$ $\newline$ $b = 15$
