    8 over 3 equals 24 over x can be written down as:

    8/3 = 24/x

    So now:

    8/3 = 24/x / * 3 (both sides)

    8 = 72/x / * x (both sides)

    8x = 72 / : 8 (both sides)

    x = 9

    8 = 24

    3 x

    Its a proportion, so you cross multiply the 3 and the 24, then divide by 8.

    3 * 24 = 72

    72 : 8 = 9

    Your final answer is:

    x = 9
