1 answer

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( \frac{4}{7} = \frac{x}{56} \), we can use cross-multiplication:

\[ 4 \cdot 56 = 7 \cdot x \]

Calculating the left side:

\[ 4 \cdot 56 = 224 \]

So we have:

\[ 224 = 7x \]

Next, we divide both sides by 7 to isolate \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{224}{7} \]

Calculating \( \frac{224}{7} \):

\[ x = 32 \]

Thus, the best answer is:

\[ \boxed{32} \]
