Question

Translate to an equation and solve: 4 is the product of 8 and b. Simplify all fractions.Provide your answer below:b=

Answer 1

If 4 is the product of 8 and b, 4 is the result of the multiplication of 8 and b. Then,

4 = 8b

Which is the same as:

8b = 4

To find b, let's divide both sides by 8:

`\begin{gathered} (8b)/(8)=(4)/(8) \\ b=(4)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Dividing the numerator and the denominator by 4:

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

Answer:

`b=(1)/(2)`
