Question

Find the missing number in this portion.
7/_=2/16

Answer 1

Good evening

7/.. = 2/16

To find the missing number we gonna replace the missing number by x

7/x = 2/16

now use the cross multiply

(7)(16) = (2)(x)

112 = 2x

Now flip

2x = 112

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 112/2

x= 56

The missing number is 56

Now if you want to check the answer just replace the blank space by 56

7/56 = 2/16

Now divide 7 by 56 and divide 2 by 16

7/56= 0.125

2/16= 0.125

SO The answer is good :)

I hope that's help:)

Answer 2

You can cross multiply

7/x = 2/16

16 * 7 = 112

2 * x = 2x

112 = 2x

Divide by 2

56 = x

So it should be 7/56
