No problem! Let's solve the proportion step by step using number sense.
To solve the proportion 2/8 = x/48, we can cross-multiply.
First, multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction:
2 * 48 = 96
Next, multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction:
8 * x = 8x
Now, since the two products are equal (96 and 8x), we can set up an equation:
96 = 8x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
96/8 = 8x/8
12 = x
So, the value of x in the proportion is 12.
From the answer choices you've provided, the correct option is (B) 12.
Great job! You correctly solved the proportion. Don't worry if you find fractions challenging - with practice, you'll become more comfortable with them. Keep up the good work!
