You can solve this by putting the number of copies in the top part of the fraction. If you replace the one in the top part of 1/6 with 3, you get the fraction 3/6. Half of six is three and half of two is one, so both fractions are equal. You can test this be dividing the 3 in the top by 3 and the 6 in the bottom by three. Your result will be 1/2. Although there are three times ad many copies, each copy is three times as small, so it balances out.
Can you please post the image.
Im not 100 percent positive that this is correct but I think the answer is
184
Answer:
20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure if that is exactly how you solve it but
If its
8x+4 as the equation and x is the number of hours run
the total number of miles run should be 20 miles
8(2)+4=20
Step 1
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\frac{1}{8}=-8\text{ and }\frac{-8}{1}=\frac{-12}{48}

−12
Step 2
Convert -8−8 to fraction -\frac{64}{8}−
8
64
.
\frac{1}{8}=-\frac{64}{8}\text{ and }\frac{-8}{1}=\frac{-12}{48}

Step 3
Compare \frac{1}{8}

Step 4
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\text{false}\text{ and }-8=\frac{-12}{48}false and −8=
48
−12
Step 5
Reduce the fraction \frac{-12}{48}
48
−12
to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 1212.
\text{false}\text{ and }-8=-\frac{1}{4}false and −8=−

Step 6
Convert -8−8 to fraction -\frac{32}{4}−
4
32
.
\text{false}\text{ and }-\frac{32}{4}=-\frac{1}{4}false and −

\text{false}\text{ and }\text{false}false and false
Step 8
The conjunction of \text{false}false and \text{false}false is \text{false}false.
\text{false}false
Hint
Do the arithmetic.
Solution
\text{false}false
