1 way
[tex] \frac{8}{64} = \frac{2}{x} \\ \\ \frac{8:4}{64:4} = \frac{2}{x} \\ \\ \frac{2}{16} = \frac{2}{x} [/tex]    ⇔  x = 16
......................................................
2.way
[tex] \frac{8}{64} = \frac{2}{x} [/tex]
We multiply the cross

[tex]8x = 2 * 64 8x = 128 x = 16[/tex]

8 over 64 is equal to 2 over x...cross multipy and that should give you 128=8x...now just divide 128 by 8 to find x...x=16
