Let the number we want to find out be 'x'.
So we want to know the 15/7 of x which is equal to 5/8 of 24 which is 15.
So, writing in mathematical term
15=x*15/7
Simplifying the above equation
x=15*7/15
x=7.
Therefore 5/8 of 24 is equal to 15/7 of 7.
guess the no is x
as ques,15=x*15/7
or,15x=15*7
or, x=15*7/15 = 7
so,no is 7
