Answer 2

(n/2)*(8/8)=?

(3/8)*(2/2)=?

Answer 3

i dont get it

Answer 4

8/8=?

Answer 5

8/8=1

you can multiply 1 to anything and still get the same number

this is how you change the denominator while still keeping the fraction the same

n/2 - 2n/16=3/8
will become
8n/16 - 2n/16=6/16

now multiply 16 to both sides to get rid of the denominator

8n-2n=6

solve for n
