Answer: 3.4/8 or 0.425

Explanation:

Use this Rule: a/b * c/d = ac/bd

Simplify numerator (top): 1 * 3.4 = 3.4

Than Simplify denominator (bottom): 2 * 4 = 8

Finally: 3.4/8 or 0.425 (decimal)

This is my answer and I know this is correct because of using the Rule which demostrates that you should multiply top and bottom
