8%2F52+=+m%2F39.........multiply both sides by 39
%288%2F52%2939+=+%28m%2F39%2939.........
8%2A39%2F52+=+m.........
312%2F52+=+m.........
6+=+m.........

Solve for the unknown
8/52 = m/39
--------
Multiply both sides by 39 to get:
m = 39(8/52)
Reduce 8/52 to 2/13
m = 39(2/13)
Reduce 39/13 to 3
m = 3*2
m = 6
