Question

Fill in the blanks.

$\frac{12}{\square }=\frac{6}{8}$

Answer 1

Finding the value of the blank space:

By using the Cross-Multiplication method:

Let us assume the value of the blank space $=x$

Then the given equivalent fraction will be:

$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{x}=\frac{6}{8}$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 12\times 8=6\times x(ApplyingCross-Multiplication) \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{12\times 8}{6} \\ \Rightarrow x=16 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of the blank space is found to be $16$.
