Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem

5                15

------ =  -------------

8              x

Using cross products

5 * x = 8 *15

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 8*15/5

x = 8*3

x =24

Answer:

The answer is 24in.

Step-by-step explanation:

My explanation isn't very useful, I just looked at the image and say that 5in was 1/3 of 15in. therefore I multiplied 8in by 3 and got 24in.

I hope this helps!
