Question

Find the missing number in ?/4 = 27/36​

Answer 1

`\text{First I would recommend replacing the question mark with x}\\\text{We have two ratios, }\\\text{and we need to solve that hard-looking equation}\\\text{in terms of x}`

`\rule{300}{1.7}`

`\text{We can multiply x times 36:: 36x}\\\text{We can multiply 4 times 27:: 108}`

`\rule{300}{1.7}`

`\text{Now it's easier to solve for x:: 36x=108; x=3}\\\text{ (we divided by 36 on both sides of the = sign)}`

`\rule{300}{1.7}`

`\text{The missing number is 3}`
