Question

32/8 = 28/x a. x=4 b. x=28 c. x=8

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve

$\frac{32}{8} = \frac{28}{x}$

for x.

Let us cross multiply to get:

$32x = 8 \times 28$

We now divide both sides by 32 to get:

$x = \frac{8 \times 28}{32}$

We do some cancellations:

$x = \frac{28}{4} = 7$
