Total of 7 packs. 12 pencils in a pack. 7x12 = 84
        
             
        
        
        
I can see you come from outside the USA. No insults intended!!
.
Anyways, we have to put one side of the ratio and match it to 48. 
.
Or even better...
.
MAKE!!
A!!
PROPORTION!!
.
So... Let's say 7 is proportional to 48... so 7/5 = 48/x, where x is the number equivalent to ratio of 5.
.
Cross multiply!!
<span>.
</span>7x = 240.
.
Divide 7 on both sides.
.
x = 34 2/7.
.
Hope I helped!!

Answer:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
8 x^2 - 12 x - 23 = -5
Divide both sides by 8:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 - 23/8 = -5/8
Add 23/8 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 = 9/4
Add 9/16 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = 45/16
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 3/4)^2 = 45/16
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 3/4 = (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
Answer:  x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
