Step 1. Given

The given proportion is $\frac{b}{5} = \frac{28}{35} .$

Step 2. To determine

We have to solve the proportion $\frac{b}{5} = \frac{28}{35} .$

Step 3. Calculation

Solve the given proportion.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{b}{5} = \frac{28}{35} \\ \frac{b}{5} \cdot 5 = \frac{28}{35} \cdot 5 [multiply each side by 5] \\ b = \frac{140}{35} [simplify] \\ b = 4 [divide] \end{matrix}$

So, the solution is $b = 4$ .
