The equation 4/8 = ?/4 can be solved by cross multiplying.
Cross multiplying involves multiplying the numerator of the first fraction (4) by the denominator of the second fraction (4) and multiplying the denominator of the first fraction (8) by the numerator of the second fraction (?).
So, (4)(4) = (8)(?), which simplifies to 16 = 8?.
To solve for ?, divide 16 by 8:
16/8 = ?
? = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 4/8 = ?/4 is ? = 2.
4/8 = ?/4
