Answer 2

Hello! I would love to help!

*= multiplication

/= division

Let’s understand the problem:

8 times what number is equal to four sixths?

So we need to find out what number times 8 gets us 4/6.

Okay, let’s fill in what we know and solve for what we don’t.

What we know:

- We need to multiply 8 by an unknown number
-the answer will be 4/6

Okay, let’s make an equation.

Let’s put X as the number we don’t know.

8 times a number we don’t know (X) = 4/6

So

8x=4/6

Let’s solve that equation by doing the opposite. Let’s divide both sides by 8.

Since you can’t divide fractions, let’s multiply by the reciprocal of 8: 1/8.

4/6 * 1/8 = 4/48

Simplify that.

1/12

That’s your answer! 1/12
