7/8 = x/48
Cross multiply, which is: a/b = c/d ⇒ ad = bc
After cross multiplying, we get:
8x = 7(48)
8x = 336
Divide 8 on both sides
x = 42
Your final answer is B. 42<span>.</span>
Slope = y2-y1 / x2 - x1
= -8-2 / -10-5
= -10 / -15
= 2/3
A
It has a surface area to volume ratio of 1:1
It would be 3,600 - 30 = 3570
So it seems as if the first problem is asking this:

.
If x=0.15, then 11/15*(0.15) is 0.11 or 11/100.
The second problem is asking:

To solve algebraically, you want to get rid of the denominators under the x's. To do so, you want to multiply by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. For 3 and 4, the LCM is 12. Multiply everything by 12 to get:
3x+6=4x+2
Now, solve for x
Subtract 4x from both sides:
-x+6=2
Subtract 6 from both sides:
-x=-4
Multiply by -1 on both sides:
x=4.
