The way that works in symbols is, if the number is G, then .
If you multiply left and right sides by 100, then this clears the denominator----BOTH SIDES need to be multiplied that way!

Now if you divide both sides by 8, this puts G by itself.

A simpler way to do this is MULTIPLY by the RECIPROCAL of the fraction to isolate G.

which you would then simplify.
