\(\begin{aligned}
& C: E: D=5: 8: 2 \Rightarrow E: D=8: 2 \Rightarrow E: D=4: 1 \\
& \frac{\text { Company } E}{\text { Company } D}: \frac{x}{1.2}=\frac{4}{1} \Rightarrow x=(1.2)(4)=4.8
\end{aligned}\)
& C: E: D=5: 8: 2 \Rightarrow E: D=8: 2 \Rightarrow E: D=4: 1 \\
& \frac{\text { Company } E}{\text { Company } D}: \frac{x}{1.2}=\frac{4}{1} \Rightarrow x=(1.2)(4)=4.8
