Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The last answer choice is correct.
Set the product of 7 and 24 equal to the product of 8 and x, and then solve for x
The process being used in the last answer choice is called Cross multiplication, and is used to find the unknown value in fractions.
[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{x}{24}[/tex]
7 × 24 = 8x
168 = 8x
21 = x
