ANSWER

49

Step-by-step explanation

We are given that:


(7)/(8)\text{ = }(?)/(56)

To find the value of the question mark, we simply have to cross-multiply:


\begin{gathered} 8\cdot\text{ ? = 7 }\cdot\text{ 56} \\ Divide\text{ through by 8:} \\ \frac{8\cdot\text{ ?}}{8}\text{ = }\frac{7\cdot\text{ 56}}{8} \\ \text{? = 49} \end{gathered}

That is the answer
