  1. fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction    
  2. fraction numerator 5 over denominator 4 end fraction    
  3. 1    
  4. 2    

The correct answer is: fraction numerator 5 over denominator 4 end fraction


    Step 1:
    fraction numerator c over denominator 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction
    Using multiplication property of equality, multiply both the sides with fraction numerator 2 over denominator 1 end fraction
    Step 2:
    fraction numerator c over denominator 2 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 2 over denominator 1 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 2 over denominator 1 end fraction
    So we get, c = fraction numerator 10 over denominator 8 end fraction or fraction numerator 5 over denominator 4 end fraction
