Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\frac{5}{35} = \frac{n}{56}$

Step 2: Solve for n

1. Simplify:                              $\frac{1}{7} = \frac{n}{56}$
2. Cross-multiply:                   $56 = 7n$
3. Isolate n:                             $8 = n$
4. Rewrite:                              $n = 8$

Answer 2

5/35 = n/56

Cross multiply

5x56 = 35xn

280=35n

280/35 = 35n/35

8 = n

n = 8
