Final answer:

To find the missing term in the equivalent ratio, cross multiply the given ratio and solve for the missing term.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the missing term in the equivalent ratio, we can use the property of cross multiplication. Cross multiplying the given ratio, we have: 81 * x = 18 * 36. Solving for x, we get x = (18 * 36) / 81 = 8.

I like to use cross multiplication for this problem
if there is 81 to 18, then you can express this as
81/18 and 36 to ? will be expressed as 36/?
81/18=36/?
you multiply the numerators with the other denominator
81×?=36×18
81×?=648
if you divide both sides by 81, you'll find you answer
?=648/81 = 8
8 is your missing term
