Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the missing number
[tex] 8\frac{11}{15} = 7\frac{x}{15} [/tex]
Convert both fractions to improper fractions
[tex] \frac{131}{15} = \frac{105 + x}{15} [/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex] 15(105 + x) = 15(131) [/tex]
[tex] 1,575 + 15x = 1,965 [/tex]
Subtract both sides by 1,575
[tex] 15x = 1,965 - 1,575 [/tex]
[tex] 15x = 390 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 15
[tex] x = \frac{390}{15} [/tex]
x = 26
