Question

7/8 = x/28.8
find the missing value

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{7}{8} = \frac{x}{28.8} \), we can use cross-multiplication. This gives us:

\[
7 \times 28.8 = 8 \times x
\]

Calculating the left side:

\[
7 \times 28.8 = 201.6
\]

Now we can set up the equation:

\[
201.6 = 8x
\]

To find \( x \), divide both sides by 8:

\[
x = \frac{201.6}{8}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
x = 25.2
\]

Thus, the missing value \( x \) is \( 25.2 \).
