$n = 7$ $n = 7$

One way to solve this is using cross-multiplication.

That means that the $6$ $6$ will multiply the $56$ $56$ , and the $n$ $n$ will multiply the $48$ $48$ :
$48 n = 336$ $48n = 336$
$n = 7$ $n = 7$

Hope this helps!

$n = 7$ $n=7$

First, determine the defined range.

$\frac{6}{n} = \frac{48}{56}; n > 0$ $6/n=48/56 ; n>0$

Then, reduce the fraction.

$\frac{6}{n} = \frac{6}{7}$ $6/n=6/7$

Thirdly, when the numerators are the same, set the denominators equal.

$n = 7; n > 0$ $n=7 ; n>0$

Hence, we get the answer:

$n = 7$ $n=7$
