15/(3/8)=6/x cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "15x=3/8*6
\n" ); document.write( "15x=18/8 divide both sides by 12:
\n" ); document.write( "x=(18/8)/15
\n" ); document.write( "x=18/8*1/15
\n" ); document.write( "x=18/120
\n" ); document.write( "x=.15 feet is the answer.
\n" ); document.write( "proof
\n" ); document.write( "15/(3/8)=6/.15
\n" ); document.write( "15*.15=6*(3/8)
\n" ); document.write( "2.25=18/8
\n" ); document.write( "2.25=2.25
