Answer:

x is approximately 3.449.

Explanation:

We are given the following proportion: 21/24 = 7/8 = 49/x

To find x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

21/24 = 7/8 = 49/x

247= 218 = 49*x

168 = 168 = 49x

x = 168/49 = 3.44948979591836734693877551020408

x = 3.449489795918367

So, x is approximately 3.449.

x would be 56
because if 21/24 is simplified to 7/8 you divide both the numerator and denominator (top and bottom of fraction) by 3.
then when you have 7/8 you do 49 divided by 7 which is 7 so to get to 49 you multiply by 7, which whatever you do to the numerator (top of the fraction) you do to the denominator (bottom of the fraction) so 8x7=56 so x = 56
