Answer:
Denominator
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the denominator of the fraction at point y.
Given:
Point X is at 2/3 on a number line from 0.
On the same line, point y is the same point from 0.
Numerator of the fraction at point y is 8.
We need to find the denominator of the fraction at point y.
Solution:
From the above statement the distance from 0 to point X and 0 to point Y is same, so point X is equal to Y.
[tex]\frac{2}{3} =\frac{8}{x}[/tex]
By cross multiplication.
[tex]x=\frac{8\times 3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{24}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x = 12[/tex]
Therefore, the denominator of the fraction at point y is 12.
