Answer 1

The missing number is 12.

And the fractions are;

`(4)/(6)=(8)/(12)`

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the missing number to make these fractions equal.

let x represent the missing number;

`(4)/(6)=(8)/(x)`

To get x, let us cross multiply;

`\begin{gathered} 4* x=6*8 \\ x=(6*8)/(4) \\ x=12 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the missing number is 12.

And the fractions are;

`(4)/(6)=(8)/(12)`
