Answer :
To solve this problem, set up a proportion (or two ratios equal to one another):
2/3 = x/8
Next, cross multiply:
2 (8) = 3 (x)
16 = 3x
To get x by itself, divide both sides by 3:
16/3 = 3x/3
16/3 = x
2/3 = x/8
Next, cross multiply:
2 (8) = 3 (x)
16 = 3x
To get x by itself, divide both sides by 3:
16/3 = 3x/3
16/3 = x
