how do u do d over 2 = 2 over 8 in solving proportions NO LINKS I REPEAT NO LINKS

Sagot :

Hey there!

d/2 = 2/8

FIRST: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY both of your given numbers

d(8) = 2(2)

d(8) = 8d

2(2) = 4

NEW EQUATION: 8d = 4

SECOND: DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES

8d/8 = 4/8

CANCEL out: 8/8 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 4/8 because it helps you solve for you d-value

NEW EQUATION: d = 4/8

4/8 = d

4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

Therefore, your answer is: d = 1/2 OR d = 0.5

(NOTE: any of those could work as your “answer” because they are both EQUIVALENT (equal to) to each other)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
