Answer:
Choice 1 is correct answer.
Explanation:
We have given an equation.
x / 8 = 9 / 24
We have to solve the given equation for x.
We use rules of simple multiplication and division.
Multiplying by 8 to both sides of above equation, we have
8(x / 8) = 8(9 / 24)
Applying distributive law, we have
(8/8)x = (8)(9) / 24
(1)x = 72 / 24
x = (24)(3) / 24
x = 3 which is the answer.
