Answer:
x = 42 and 3 : 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{48}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
8x = 336 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 42

Count the number of hexagons and smiley faces to create the ratio
hexagons : smiley faces = 3 : 4 ← in simplest form
Multiply each part of the ratio by 2 and 3 gives
6 : 8 and 9 : 12 ← equivalent ratios
