Write the missing number in each fraction so that the fraction belongs in the box. Write one more fraction that can go in the box. 1. 2/3 /9 12/ 20/ /12
To find the missing number in each fraction, we need to make sure that the fraction belongs in the given range.
Let's start with the first fraction: 2/3 / 9
To find the missing number, we need to divide 2 by another number such that the resulting fraction is equivalent to 2/3 and falls within the given range.
We can solve this by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by the same number. In this case, if we multiply both by 3, we get:
2/3 * 3/3 = 6/9
So, the missing number for the first fraction is 6.
Now, let's move on to the second fraction: 12/ ?
To find the missing number, we need to divide 12 by another number such that the resulting fraction is equivalent to 12/20.
This means we need to find a common factor for both the numerator and denominator. By dividing both by 4, we get:
12/4 = 3
20/4 = 5
So, the missing number for the second fraction is 5.
Finally, let's address the third fraction: ? /12
To find the missing number, we need to divide another number by 12 such that the resulting fraction is equivalent to 20/12.
This means we need to find a common factor for both the numerator and denominator. By dividing both by 4, we get:
20/4 = 5
12/4 = 3
So, the missing number for the third fraction is 5.
One more fraction that can go in the box could be 8/12.
check your question... i don't see any box
Lets say 2/3 is the root fraction.
you wanted to solve /9. you know the denominator of both those fractions.
3, and 9. what would you multiply 3 by to get 9? You would times it by 3.
Whatever you do to the bottom you do to the top.
So, it would be 2x3=6. The answer is: 6/9.
If your trying to solve the denominator, 12/
find out what 2 multiplies by to get 12. Answer: 6. You multiply 3 by 6 and get 18. The answer is 12/18.
Try the rest by yourself, and post them here. And I will be glad to help if you have any more questions.
