solve the proportion: \$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{8}\$. what is the value of x ?

For the proportion $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{x}{8}$, cross - multiplying gives us $4\times x = 3\times8$.

Simplify the right - hand side: $3\times8 = 24$, so the equation becomes $4x=24$. Then divide both sides by 4: $x=\frac{24}{4}=6$.
