Question

Write an equivalent fraction with the given denominator. (Only input numerator in final answer.) 1/2 = /8

Answer 1

Let's use the variable x to represent the numerator of the second fraction. So we have the following equation:

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{8}$

Solving this equation for x, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{8} \\ 2x=8 \\ x=\frac{8}{2} \\ x=4 \end{gathered}$

So the numerator for the equivalent fraction is 4.
