Please explain how I could solve this. :)
2 = 2
Let me rewrite the problem here.
0/4 = 2/20
Solve for the 0 and thanks.
what do u mean by 2=2?

x/4 = 2/20
Cross multiply and solve for x.
To find the missing number in the equation, you need to solve the fraction equation:
blank / 4 = 2 / 20
To solve this equation, you can cross-multiply. Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of one side by the denominator of the other side.
So, you would calculate:
20 * blank = 2 * 4
Simplifying this equation:
20 * blank = 8
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate the variable 'blank':
blank = 8 / 20
Simplifying the fraction:
blank = 2/5
Therefore, the missing number in the equation is 2/5. Looking at the answer choices, you can see that the correct option is 2/5.
