The equations we solved in the last section simplified nicely so that we could use the. Our strategy will involve choosing one side of the equation to be the variable side, and step by step, to isolate the variable terms on one side of the equation
4/8 is the correct answer for this question. This is why. If you take 8 and divide it in half, your answer will be 4. Also because fractions are division so the fraction 8/2 equals 4. This means the 1/2 mark is equal to 4.
