what is the answer for15/8=80/x
\(\frac{15}{8} = \frac{80}{x}\)
At this point in time, you can use a technique called cross-mutiplication, where you say that \(15*80=8x\), and \(1200=8x\) at this point in time, you can devide each side by 8 and solve
15/8=80/x - You need to cross multiply!!
so... 15x=460
and then... X=42.7
