Answer
3$\frac{7}{43}$$\approx$ 3.163
Work Step by Step
$\frac{43}{17}$=$\frac{8}{z}$ set cross product equal
43z =17$\times$8 multiply
43z = 136 divide by 43 both sides
$\frac{43z}{43}$=$\frac{136}{43}$
z =$\frac{136}{43}$
z =3$\frac{7}{43}$
z$\approx$ 3.163
Check
$\frac{43}{17}$=$\frac{8}{z}$
$\frac{43}{17}$=$\frac{8}{\frac{136}{43}}$
43$\times$$\frac{136}{43}$=17$\times$8 multiply
136=136
true
The solution is 3$\frac{7}{43}$ $\approx$3.163
