Answer: 1/10 or 0.1 Step 1: Add your one over so it becomes 4/5x=1+7 or 4/5x=8 Step 2: You want to divide you 4/5 and your 8 together to find your x. When dividing by fractions you can just multiply the opposite (or the reciprocal) So you would multiply 4/5 * 1/8 When multiplying fractions you just multiply across so 4*1 5*8 4/40 Step 3: Simplify your fraction 4/40 breaks down to 1/10 because you can divide both numbers by 4 So x-1/10 or 0.1
