Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
Given: " 8/U = 17/11 ;
17 U = 8 *11 ;
17 U = 88 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "17" :
17 U / 17 = 88/17 ;
U = [tex] \frac{88}{17} [/tex] ;
(or; "88 ÷ 17 = 5.1764705882352941) ; U = 5.1764705882352941 ;
Round to: U = 5.176 ;
or, write as: U = 5 [tex] \frac{3}{17}[/tex] .
