Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The last answer choice is correct.

Set the product of 7 and 24 equal to the product of 8 and x, and then solve for x

The process being used in the last answer choice is called Cross multiplication, and is used to find the unknown value in fractions.


(7)/(8) ×
(x)/(24)

7 × 24 = 8x

168 = 8x

21 = x
