As described in the site below, all you need to do is divide the
concentration of the right-hand side of the equation  (since there's
only one term on the right-hand side) by the product of the left-hand
side, but in the balanced equation you *square* each term that has a
'2' beside it.

K = [2]^2 / ( [.4]^2 * [.8] )

K = 4/(.16 * .8)

K = 31.25
