Answer :
One way to go about this is cross multiplication: multiply both sides by both denominators to remove the denominators.
x/10 = 4/8
x/10 * 10 * 8 = 4/8 * 10 * 8
8x = 40
Now the equation is in a form you can solve easier.
8x = 40
x = 5
x/10 = 4/8
x/10 * 10 * 8 = 4/8 * 10 * 8
8x = 40
Now the equation is in a form you can solve easier.
8x = 40
x = 5
