Question

Write an equivalent fraction with the given denominator. (Only input numerator in final answer.) 1/2 = /8

Answer 1

Let's use the variable x to represent the numerator of the second fraction. So we have the following equation:

`(1)/(2)=(x)/(8)`

Solving this equation for x, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)=(x)/(8) \\ 2x=8 \\ x=(8)/(2) \\ x=4 \end{gathered}`

So the numerator for the equivalent fraction is 4.
