first factor because
4/8=1/2 because 4/8=1/2 times 4/4 and 4/4=1 so 1/2 times 1=1/2 so

36/8
factor 36 and 8
36=2 times 2 times 3 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2 so
36/8=[tex] \frac{2 times 2 times 3 times 3}{2 times 2 times 2} = \frac{2}{2} times \frac{2}{2} times \frac{3}{2} times \frac{3}{1} [/tex]= 1 times [tex] \frac{3}{2} times \frac{3}{1} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{3 time 3}{2 times 1}= \frac{9}{2} [/tex]
