Answer:
x=8/3
Explanation:
since this is a ratio it can also be set as a fraction so rewriting the ratio would make it look like this: 6/2=8/x now to solve for x you can use the butterfly method(which is basically the more efficient way to solve for x, in this situation? while using the butterfly method your process will look like this:
6/2=8/x-rewrite your equation
6x=16multiply across
6. /6 divide 6 on both sides
x=16/6, this is NOT your final answer because you must simplify it 16/6÷2/2=8/3 , now that the fraction is done simplifying your final answer is set, x=8/3
