Question

5/6 = ?/18 Fill in the blank to make the two fractions equivalent.

Answer 1

? = 15

Explanation:

given

`(5)/(6)` =
`(?)/(18)`

one way is to use cross- multiplication , that is

6 ? = 5 × 18 = 90 ( divide both sides by 6 )

`(6)/(6)` ? =
`(90)/(6)` , that is

? = 15

the two equivalent fractions are then

`(5)/(6)` =
`(15)/(18)`
