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

factor
36/8
factor 36 and 8
36=2 times 2 times 3 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2 so
36/8=\(\frac{2 times 2 times 3 times 3}{2 times 2 times 2} = \frac{2}{2} times \frac{2}{2} times \frac{3}{2} times \frac{3}{1}\)= 1 times \(\frac{3}{2} times \frac{3}{1}\)=\(\frac{3 time 3}{2 times 1}= \frac{9}{2}\)

the answer is 9/2
