-----

Answer:

B. [tex]\frac{8kL}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For 2 ratios to be the same, they have to be equal to one another, in this case, meaning if a part of one of the ratios is unknown, you must be able to solve it by setting the two ratios equal to one another:

[tex]\frac{1kL}{1000L} =\frac{8kL}{x}\\x=\frac{8kL}{\frac{1kL}{1000L}} \\x=8kL*\frac{1000L}{1kL} \\x=8000L[/tex]
