is this your question

if
(9)/(24) =
(3)/(x) then x= _____?

we know that 3 goes into 9 three times to equal 3 because we are basically just simplifying here either way if we are simplifying by 3 then 3 goes into 24 eight times

x = 8

(9)/(24) = (3)/(x)

Cross-Multiply:

9x = 3 * 24

Evaluate:

9x = 72

Divide both sides by 9:

x = 8

Answer: x = 8
