I'm guessing you are asking what x equals
Your equation is 9/8=114/x
You would cross-multiply, meaning you would multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second, and multiply the denominator of the first by the numerator of the second
So it would look like this: 9 x x=114 x 8
Then you would multiply 8 and 114 and 9 and x
So it would be 9x=912
then you would divide both sides by 9
X=101.3333333
