Hi Brainiac
7/8 =?/48
Let's replace the unknown place by x
7/8 = x/48
Cross multiply
(7)(48)= (X)(8)
336 = 8x
Flip it
8x = 336
Divide both sides by 8
8x/8 = 336/8
x= 42
The answer is C
Now if you wanna see if the answer is good just replace 42 in blank space
7/8 = 42/48
Now didivde 7 by 8 and divide 42 by 48
7/8= 0.875
42/48= 0.875
The answer C is correct
I hope that's help:)
If you have questions please let me know :)
