8.5/1
= (8.5*4)/ (1*4) (both multiply numerator and denominator by 4 does not change the result).
= 34/4.

The final answer is 34/4.

Answer 2

8.5 as a fraction is 8.5/1. To make the denominator 4, you must multiply both the top and bottom by 4 (4x8.5/1x4). This gives you your answer, which is 34/4. To double check this, you just divided 34 by 4. This equals 8.5, which is the original number.
