Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the scale factor, we have ...
x/8 = 0.25/1
x = 8(0.25) . . . . multiply by 8
x = 2

<em>Additional comment</em>
I like to write proportions with the variable in the numerator. That way they are easily solved by a single multiplication. The trick is to get corresponding parts in the same positions. Here, the fractions are written ...
B/A = smaller part / larger part = x/8 = 0.25/1
One example is the equation 2x+3x = 5x because the left hand side combines to form the right hand side. This equation is said to be an identity, which is always true for any real number you can think of. For example, if x = 3, then,
2x+3x = 5x
2*3+3*3 = 5*3 ... replace every x with 3
6 + 9 = 15
15 = 15
We end up with a true equation. This will happen regardless of what x value we pick. Therefore, it has infinitely many solutions.
