Answer:

B. 16

Explanation:

To find the solution of each proportion, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Multiplication property of equality is multiply from both sides of an equation the same number doesn't change the equation.

First, switch sides.


\displaystyle (m)/(36)=(4)/(9)

Next, multiply 36 from both sides.


\displaystyle (36m)/(36)=(4*36)/(9)

Solve.


\displaystyle 4*36=144/9=\boxed{16}

In conclusion, the correct answer is 16.
