The best way to solve this one would be simple cross multiplying. Multiply the top of one side with the bottom of the other side. In this problem you need to multiply X with 8 and multiply 3 with 5. You'll get an equation of 8X=15, then divide both sides by 8 so that you get X by itself. Your answer will them be X=1.875
