This is another cross multiplication XD

8/15 = a/8

15a = 64

a = 64/15

They are not trying to make you find b. They only want you to find the proportion of the division terms given.

The answer choices they gave me were 15/b, b/15, 8/15, and a/15.

anonymous · Answer

@KirbyLegs has given you a, they want a/8

anonymous · Answer

a = 64/15, so a/8 = (64/8)/15 = 8/15
