Answer:

t = 2

Explanation:

Look at the fraction on the left, 1/3.

Notice that the denominator is 3 times the numerator.

Since the fractions are equal, for the second fraction, you also need the denominator to be 3 times the numerator. Since the denominator is 6, the numerator must be 2 since 6 is 3 times 2.

Answer: t = 2

Of course, since you have two fractions that are equal, and fractions are also ratios, you have a proportion.

You can solve the problem as a proportion.

1/3 = t/6

Cross multiply:

3t = 1 × 6

3t = 6

t = 6/3

t = 2

Either way, you get t = 2.
