To find the missing number in the equivalent fraction, we can set up the proportion:

\[ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{8} \]

To solve for \(x\), we can cross-multiply:

\[ 1 \cdot 8 = 4 \cdot x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 8 = 4x \]

Now, divide both sides by 4:

\[ x = \frac{8}{4} = 2 \]

So the missing number is 2.

Thus, the equivalent fraction is \(\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8}\).
