I can see you come from outside the USA. No insults intended!!
.
Anyways, we have to put one side of the ratio and match it to 48.
.
Or even better...
.
MAKE!!
A!!
PROPORTION!!
.
So... Let's say 7 is proportional to 48... so 7/5 = 48/x, where x is the number equivalent to ratio of 5.
.
Cross multiply!!
.
7x = 240.
.
Divide 7 on both sides.
.
x = 34 2/7.
.
Hope I helped!!
