_________________________________________________________

Given: " 8/U = 17/11 ;

17 U = 8 *11 ;

17 U = 88 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "17" :

17 U / 17 = 88/17 ;

U =
`(88)/(17)` ;

(or; "88 ÷ 17 = 5.1764705882352941) ; U = 5.1764705882352941 ;
Round to: U = 5.176 ;

or, write as: U = 5
`(3)/(17)` .
