7/8 = x/48

A. 42

B. 6

C. 13

D. 1

If you would like to solve the equation 7/8 = x/48, you can calculate this using the following steps:

7/8 = x/48 / * 48

x = 7/8 * 48

x = 42

The correct result would be A. 42.

7/8 = x/48

Perform cross multiplication:

a/b = c/d

ad = bc

a = 7; b = 8; c = x; d = 48

7*48 = 8x

336 = 8x

336/8 = x

42 = x

7/8 = 42/48

42 : 6 = 7

48 : 6 = 8
