Answer:

let the blank space be x

x=7

Explanation:


(14)/(x) = (2)/(1)

then you are gonna crisscross it


14 * 1 = 2 * x

then divide them to know x value


(14)/(2) = (2x)/(2)

the answer is


7 = x

Answer:

7

Explanation:

If we multiply both sides of a ratio by the same factor, the resulting ratio will still be valid. Multiplying both sides of the ratio
2:1 by 7 gives
14:7.
