Answer:

Answer:

Option C: {4.5}

Explanation:

Given Equation:


  • (n - 4)/(2) = (2)/(8)
  • To find the value of 'n'

Solution:


= > (n - 4)/(2) = (2)/(8)

  • (On cross multiplication)

=> 8(n - 4) = 2 × 2

  • (On Simplification)

=> 8n - 32 = 4

  • (Putting like terms on one side)

=> 8n = 4 + 32

= 36

  • (On dividingboth sides with 8)


= > (8n)/(8) = (36)/(8)

  • (On Simplification)

=> n = 4.5 (Option "C") (Ans)
