Answer

$c = 1.8$

Work Step by Step

Before we can solve this proportion, let's rewrite it in a more conventional way as two equal ratios: $\dfrac{2.4}{c} = \dfrac{4}{3}$ To solve a proportion, we use the cross products property, multiplying the numerator of one ratio with the denominator of the other ratio, and vice versa: $2.4(3) = 4c$ Multiply on the left side of the equation: $7.2 = 4c$ Divide each side of the equation by $4$ to solve for $c$: $c = 1.8$
