how do you turn 8 into 6 through multiplying

This is really more of a division problem

First we should set up an algebraic equation. We need to figure out what number we can multiply 8 by to get 6.

So, $${\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{x}} = {\mathtt{6}}$$ where six is the number we need to find

Next divide both sides of the equation by 8 so that x is left alone on one side of the equation

$${\frac{\left({\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{x}}\right)}{{\mathtt{8}}}} = {\frac{\left({\mathtt{6}}\right)}{{\mathtt{8}}}}$$   --->   $${\mathtt{x}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{6}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}}$$

simplify your fraction 

$${\frac{{\mathtt{6}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}$$

So $${\mathtt{x}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}$$

So to turn 8 into 6 through multiplying, you will multiply it by 3/4
