\begin{gathered} \text{Express:} \\ 8\cdot(5)/(8) \\ As\colon \\ 8\cdot(5)/(8)=(69)/(8) \\ \text{Now, let's solve the equation:} \\ (3)/(4)h-12=(69)/(8) \\ \text{Add 12 to both sides:} \\ (3)/(4)h=(69)/(8)+12 \\ (3)/(4)h=(165)/(8) \\ \text{Multiply both sides by 4/3:} \\ h=(165)/(8)\cdot(4)/(3) \\ h=(55)/(2)=27.5 \end{gathered}
