Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

To solve a proportion ( an equation with two equal fractions), cross multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.

8/5=24/h 8h = 5*24 8h = 120 h=15

h/8=24/5 5h = 8*24 5h = 120 h= 24

h/5=24/8 8h =5*24 8h = 120 h=15

8/5=h/24 5h = 8*24 5h = 120 h=24

8/24=5/h 8h = 24*5 8h = 120 h = 15

5/8=h/24 8h = 5*24 8h =120 h = 15

h/5=8/24 24h =5*8 24h = 40 h = 5/3
