$32$

To solve this expression, we plug in the numbers it has given us in the problem, and then simply solve.

So because of the information given, we rewrite the expression as:

$(4ab)/(8c) => (4(8)(4))/(8(1/2))$

Now we can solve the expression:

$(4(8)(4))/(8(1/2)) => ((32)(4))/(4) => 128/4 => 32$

$(4(8)(4)) / (8(1/2))= 128/4=32$

The answer is $32$ .

All you had to do is to plug in the numbers for the letters (for example plug in $8$ for $a$ in the original expression and so on) and solve it.

How do you evaluate (4ab)/(8c)(4ab)/(8c), where a=8, b=4,a=8, b=4, and c=1/2c=1/2?
