1/4 = ?/8

1 answer

To solve this equation, we need to find the value of "?" that would make the equation true.

To do this, we can use cross multiplication. Cross multiplication is a method used to find the value of a missing term in a proportion.

In this equation, we can write it as:

1/4 = ?/8

Cross multiplying, we get:

1 * 8 = 4 * ?

8 = 4 * ?

To solve for "?", we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

8/4 = ?/4

2 = ?

Therefore, the value of "?" is 2.
