Question

Solve the proportion.
d/3
=
56/21
d=

Answer 1

To solve the proportion \( \frac{d}{3} = \frac{56}{21} \), you can cross-multiply or simplify directly.

First, simplify \( \frac{56}{21} \):
\[
\frac{56}{21} = \frac{56 \div 7}{21 \div 7} = \frac{8}{3}
\]

Now, we can rewrite the proportion:
\[
\frac{d}{3} = \frac{8}{3}
\]

Since both fractions have the same denominator (3), we can set the numerators equal to each other:
\[
d = 8
\]

So, the solution is:
\[
d = 8
\]
