Hey there!
d/2 = 2/8
FIRST: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY both of your given numbers
d(8) = 2(2)
d(8) = 8d
2(2) = 4
NEW EQUATION: 8d = 4
SECOND: DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES
8d/8 = 4/8
CANCEL out: 8/8 because that gives you 1
KEEP: 4/8 because it helps you solve for you d-value
NEW EQUATION: d = 4/8
4/8 = d
4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5
Therefore, your answer is: d = 1/2 OR d = 0.5
(NOTE: any of those could work as your “answer” because they are both EQUIVALENT (equal to) to each other)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
