    I would cross multiply:

    reduce the fraction into simplest form

    8/12→2/3

    2/3=2/x. cross multiply

    2x=3 (2)

    x=3

    missing value is 3

    or

    you could find the decimal value of 8/12 which is 0.67

    0.67=2/x

    solve for x

    0.67x=2

    x=3

    missing value is 3
