Question

What number could replace m below
m/8= 1/2

Answer 1

`{\red{ \boxed{\sf{m = 4}}}} \\`

Explanation:

`\sf(m)/(8) = (1)/(2) \\ \\ \sf{m = (8 * 1)/(2) } \\ \\ \sf{ m = (8)/(2) } \\ \\ \sf{m = (2 * 4)/(2 * 1) } \\ \\ \sf{m = (4)/(1) } \\ \\ \sf{so...} \\ \\ \sf{m = 4}`

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

if you want to see that the fractions are equal, you should first make their denominators equal

`(m)/(8) = (4)/(8)`

8 times 1 = 8, so m times 1 should equal 4

therefore, m=4
