Answer: 42

Explanation:
First, you should divide both denominators to find what number you are multiplying by.

48/8 = 6

So now you know that the number you are multiplying by is 6. Now you want to multiply 7/8 by 6.

7/8 x 6 = 42/48

Hope this helped! :3

Answer:

42 should be in the blank.

Explanation:

If you multiply 7/8 by 6, watch what happens...

7/8 *6 = 42/48

The denominators are the same, which shows how the equations are probably equal.

I know it might seem confusing because I'm not great at explaining, but I hope it helps! Have an awesome day c:
