Answer:

Value of the blank (We assumed it as
x while solving) :-


\boxed {\tt x = \cfrac{1}{3}}

Actual answer :-


\boxed{\tt \: 3 * \boxed{\cfrac{1}{3}} = 1}

Explanation:

Given equation :-


\sf 3 * ? = 1

(Note: I wrote "?" instead of "blank".)

We need to find the value of the blank on this equation.

Solution:-

To solve Further let's us assume that the value of the blank be
x.

So, blank =
x

The equation will be . . .


\sf \longmapsto3 * x = 1

Let's solve out this equation !


\sf \implies3 * x = 1

Multiply 3 and x on the LHS :-


\sf \implies3 x = 1

Hence the new equation would be 3
x=1.

Now, Divide both sides by 3 :-


\sf \implies \: \cfrac{3x}{3} = \cfrac{1}{3}

Simplify this equation :-

Cancel 3 and 3 on the LHS, Leave
x . 1/3 can't be cancelled.


\sf \implies \: \cfrac{ \cancel3}{ \cancel3x} = \cfrac{1}{3}


\sf \implies1x = \cfrac{1}{3}

As we know that x = 1x So,


\sf \implies \: x = \cfrac{1}{3}

This equation can't be simplified more.

Hence, the value of
x would be 1/3.

Now,Put the value of
x
(1/3) on the given equation:-


\sf \implies \: 3 * \: \cfrac{1}{3} \: = 1

We are done !

Answer:

y =
\frac13

Explanation:

let the blank be y

3 * y = 1

3y = 1

Now, divide both sides by 3:

3y ÷ 3 = 1 ÷ 3

y = 1/3
