x = 56

Answer 2

Answer:

We will get the 7/8 of 56 is 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

       Given data:- 49 is 7/8 of what number.

       To find:- Value of missing number.

       Solution:-

• Let assume x to find the missing term.

• Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

• By using the transposition method.

       we get,

       $\frac{7}{8}\times x=49\\=>\frac{7x}{8} =49\\=>7x=49\times8\\=>7x=392\\=>x=\frac{392}{7} \\=>x=56$
