To find the number, you can set up a proportion: 5 is to 8 as 35 is to x. This can be written as 5/8 = 35/x. Cross multiplying gives you 5x = 280. Dividing both sides by 5, you get x = 56. Therefore, the number is 56.

Well, if 5 out of 8 of a number is 35, then the whole number would be 56. You just multiply 35 by 8 and divide by 5 to get the full shebang. Math can be a real pain in the tuchus sometimes, but that's the magic number in this case.

(5 / 8) x = 35

Multiply both sides by (8/5) to get x alone.

x = 35 * (8/5)

x = 56
