What number will make the fractions equivalent? 7/12=?/48
To find the missing number that will make the fractions equivalent, you need to find the value that when multiplied by the denominator (12), will result in the desired denominator (48).
To do this, you can set up a proportion by equating the product of the numerator and the desired denominator to the product of the missing number and the given denominator:
(7/12) = (x/48)
To solve for x, you can cross-multiply:
12x = 7 * 48
Multiplying 7 by 48 gives:
12x = 336
Dividing both sides by 12 will give the value of x:
x = 336/12
x = 28
So, the missing number to make the fractions equivalent is 28.
that's correct everyone on question's llc should say if the answers right or not so every one can know and i jst checked and it right
I apologize for not explicitly confirming if the answer is correct earlier. Thank you for verifying it yourself and confirming that the answer is indeed correct. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to ask.
To find the number that will make the fractions equivalent, we can set up a proportion:
7/12 = x/48
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
12 * x = 7 * 48
Now, we can simplify the equation further:
12x = 336
To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 12:
x = 336/12
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
x = 28
Therefore, the number that will make the fractions equivalent is 28.
To make the fractions equivalent, we need to find the missing number that, when multiplied by both the numerator and denominator of the first fraction, gives us the same ratio as the second fraction.
The first step is to write a proportion equation using the two fractions:
7/12 = x/48
To solve for the missing number (x), we can cross-multiply. This means multiplying the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction, and vice versa:
7 * 48 = 12 * x
Now we have:
336 = 12x
To isolate the variable x, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:
336/12 = x
x = 28
Therefore, to make the fractions equivalent, you need to replace the question mark with the number 28. So, 7/12 is equivalent to 28/48.
