Question

Fill in the blanks.

$\frac{\_\_\_}{3}=\frac{6}{9}$

Answer 1

Finding the value of blank space:

Cross-Multiplication : We know, in two equivalent fractions, the product of the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction is equal to the product of the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction.

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

The the given equivalent fraction will be:

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=\frac{6}{9}$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x\times 9=6\times 3(ApplyingCross-Multiplication) \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{6\times 3}{9} \\ \Rightarrow x=2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $2$ is the required answer.
