multiply both sides by the reciprocal
x = 85⅓
We would expect her to make about 85 business calls in a month.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation means "3/8 of the unknown total is 32"
When we multiply 3/8 by its reciprocal, it becomes 1 and cancels on the left.
8/3 times 32 is a mixed number, so it is reasonable to round it to a whole number of calls.

I hope I read this question correctly. The coding for the fraction made it a bit confusing.
