Answer:


\boxed{\sf{{x=(8)/(5)=1.6}}}

Explanation:

All you have to do to solve this is isolate the term of x from one side of the equation.


\sf{(x)/(4)=(2)/(5) }

First, you multiply by 4 from both sides.


\sf{(4x)/(4)=(2*4)/(5) }

Then, solve.


\sf{2*4=8}


\sf{=(8)/(5) }

Also, you can divide.

8/5=1.6

Therefore, the answer is 8/5=1.6

I hope this helps! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
