To find x, we can set up a proportion:
2/8 = x/14 2/3
First, convert the mixed number 14 2/3 to an improper fraction:
14 2/3 = (3*14 + 2) / 3 = 44/3
Now plug in the values into the proportion:
2/8 = x / 44/3
Simplify the left side of the equation:
2/8 = 1/4
Now solve for x:
1/4 = x / 44/31/4 = x / (44/3)1/4 = x * 3/441/4 = 3x / 4444 = 12xx = 44 / 12x = 11/3 or approximately 3.67
Therefore, x is approximately 3.67.
