Question

Find equivalent factions of 27/36 by finding the value of @:
27/36=3/@=@/24=54/@​

Answer 1

Solution:

Equivalent fractions have the same value, even though they may look different.

27/36 = 3/x = x/24 = 54/x

Find the value of x

27/36 = 3/x

Using cross multiplication, we can get

1. 27/36 = 3/x

27x = 36 • 3

x = 4

27/36 = 3/4

2. 3/4 = x/24

4x = 3 • 24

x = 18

3/4 = 18/24

3. 18/24 = 54/x

18x = 24 • 54

x = 72

18/24 = 54/72

x = 4, 18, 72

Hope this would help.
