    28/21 = 42/x

    Cross Multiply

    28*x = 21*42

    x = 21*42/28 use your calculator.

    x = 31.5

    x = 31 1/2

    option C

    Hope this explains it.

    28/21=42/x multiply both sides by x

    28/21x=42 divide by 28/21 on both sides (or multiply both sides by 21/28)

    X = 63/2

    X = 31 1/2
