a.0
b.24
c.40
d.48

Answer 1

c

Answer 2

you all are confusing me, what is it!

Answer 3

\[8 \div 6 = x \div 32\]

so, \[8 \times 32 = 6x\]

\[256 = 6x\]
\[x \approx 42.6667\]

The logical answer would be 40

Answer 4

yeah but its not , then would you pick from the choices?

Answer 5

oh never mind. forget it.

Answer 6

Because your question asks for an approximation, 42 is closer to 40 than 48 is.
Do you understand?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
