Answer:

No, 8 / 2 and 2 / 8 are not equivalent.

Explanation:

2 Numbers switched makes a different result.

For example, switching numbers in 82.

As we switch the 8 and the 2, we get 28.

28 is not equivalent to 82.

As we do 8 / 2, when we switch the numbers, we get 2 / 8.

2 / 8 is not equivalent to 8 / 2.

As we solve both equations, 8 / 2 = 4, 2 / 8 = 0.25.

0.25 is not equivalent to 4.

Therefore, 8 / 2 and 2 / 8 are not equivalent.

Hope this helps!
