5/2x = 1/8

To solve the equation 5/2x = 1/8, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Multiplying both sides by 8 to eliminate the denominator on the right side:
(5/2x)(8) = 1/8(8)
40/2x = 1
Now, we can simplify the left side of the equation:
20x = 1

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 20:
(20x)/20 = 1/20
x = 1/20

So the solution to the equation 5/2x = 1/8 is x = 1/20.
