I believe the answer is C. "15x=48."

If you cross multiply the proportion that is the equation that results from it.

(8)/(15) =
(x)/(6)
15×x=15x
8×6=48
15x=48

Hi there! The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following equation:


(8)/(15) = (x)/(6)
To solve this type of equation (with an x in the denominator of a fraction) we must cross-multiply the numerator and the denominator.


15 * x = 8 * 6
Multiply


15x = 40
Divide both sides by 15.


x = (40)/(15) = 2 (2)/(3)
~ Hope this helps you!
