Answer:
x = 222
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer is 50" because if the table is 42" and it needs to hang over 8" then it would have to be 50"
1 1/4x = 3/4
5/4x = 3/4
x = (3/4) / (5/4)
x = 3/4 * 4/5
x = 12/20 which reduces to 3/5
check..
1 1/4 * 3/5 =
5/4 * 3/5 =
15/20 reduces to 3/4
so u would multiply 1 1/4 by 3/5 to get 3/4
