Answer:

26

Explanation:

Let x represent the missing number


8(11)/(15) = 7(x)/(15)

Convert both fractions to improper fractions


(131)/(15) = (105 + x)/(15)

Cross multiply


15(105 + x) = 15(131)


1,575 + 15x = 1,965

Subtract both sides by 1,575


15x = 1,965 - 1,575


15x = 390

Divide both sides by 15


x = (390)/(15)

x = 26
