Solve 1/2/n=2/8

$$\frac { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } { n } = \frac { 2 } { 8 }$$

Solve for n

$$n=2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8n, the least common multiple of n,8.

$$8\times \frac{1}{2}=n\times 2$$

Multiply 8 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{8}{2}.

$$\frac{8}{2}=n\times 2$$

Divide 8 by 2 to get 4.

$$4=n\times 2$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$n\times 2=4$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$n=\frac{4}{2}$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$n=2$$
