Answer 1

5/3 x ?/? = 10/30 : also write simplest form of fraction obtained .

Solution:

5/3 x ?/? = 10/30

Let the ? considered as a and b

=> $\dfrac{5}{3} \times \dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{10}{30}$

=>  $\dfrac{5a}{3b} = \dfrac{10}{30}$

By cross multiplying

=> $\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{10 \times 3}{30 \times 5}$

=> $\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{30}{150}$

=> $\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{1}{5}$

Hence, the question mark is replaced with the fraction 1/5. It is the simplest form.
