Question

7/8 = ?/48 A.13 B. 1 C. 42 D. 6

Answer 1

Hi Brainiac

7/8 =?/48

Let's replace the unknown place by x

7/8 = x/48

Cross multiply

(7)(48)= (X)(8)

336 = 8x

Flip it

8x = 336

Divide both sides by 8

8x/8 = 336/8

x= 42

The answer is C

Now if you wanna see if the answer is good just replace 42 in blank space

7/8 = 42/48

Now didivde 7 by 8 and divide 42 by 48

7/8= 0.875

42/48= 0.875

The answer C is correct

I hope that's help:)
