To solve the ratio and proportion problem 240X=800.8\frac{240}{X} = \frac{80}{0.8}X240​=0.880​, follow these steps:

1. Set up the proportion:240X=800.8\frac{240}{X} = \frac{80}{0.8}X240​=0.880​
2. Cross-multiply to solve for XXX:240×0.8=80×X240 \times 0.8 = 80 \times X240×0.8=80×X
3. Calculate 240×0.8240 \times 0.8240×0.8:240×0.8=192240 \times 0.8 = 192240×0.8=192
4. Set up the equation:192=80×X192 = 80 \times X192=80×X
5. Solve for XXX:X=19280X = \frac{192}{80}X=80192​
6. Simplify the fraction:19280=2.4\frac{192}{80} = 2.480192​=2.4

Therefore, the value of XXX is 2.42.42.4.
