If u ate 4/8 of a muffin box what is the total in fourths

In this question, what you have to do to get fourths is divide the denominator by 2. So what you get is 8 divide by 2 = 4. 

But what you do to the denominator, you must also do to the numerator.

4 divide by 2 = 2

So the answer is 2/4. This is a bit tricky. You are usually not asked to do a question this way.

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
