Answer
h = 13.333333333333


Steps Explained:

You entered the following equivalent proportions:

3
8
=
  
5
h

Define the proportion formula:

If 2 proportions are equal:
we can cross multiply to get:

Numerator 1
Denominator 1
=
  
Numerator 2
Denominator 2

Numerator 1 * Denominator 2 = Denominator 1 * Numerator 2

Solving for Denominator 2 we get:

Denominator 2  =  Denominator 1 * Numerator 2
  Numerator 1

Evaluate and simplfy
