    So you can say that the weight of a koala here can be x.

    So x * 1/8 = 2

    2 being the chinchilla's weight and the 1/8 coming from the fact that the chinchilla weighs 1/8 of the weight of the koala.

    So you can just divide both sides by 1/8 first.

    x * 1/8 = 2

    / 1/8 / 1/8

    Or,

    x * 1/8 * 8/1 = 2 * 8/1

    x = 16

    So the koala weighs 16 pounds.
