Reduce the first fraction to lowest terms. Then you can cross multiply and solve for n.

It is one of those but I'm not going to tell you which one. I'm here to teach, not give you the answers.

@AriPotta

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

First\[\frac{ 5 }{ 35 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 7 }\]So then\[\frac{ 5 }{ 35 }=\frac{ n }{ 56 }\]is the same as\[\frac{ 1 }{ 7 }=\frac{ n }{ 56 }\]Understand?? Now solve for n.
