Question

Fill in the following boxes:

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{\square }=\frac{\square }{10}=\frac{6}{\square }$

• A. $16$
• B. $5$, $12$

Answer 1

Step 1: In order to find the value of first blank, write $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{\square }$ that can be rewritten as $1\times \square =8\times 2$ then solve for $\square$.

$\square =16$

Step 2: In order to find the value of second blank, write $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\square }{10}$ that can be rewritten as $1\times 10=2\times \square$ then solve for $\square$.

$10=2\times \square$

Step 3: Divide both sides by $2$ and solve for $\square$.

$\frac{10}{2}=\frac{2}{2}\times \square$

$5=\square$

Step 4: In order to find the value of third blank, write $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{\square }$ that can be rewritten as $1\times \square =6\times 2$ then solve for $\square$.

$\square =12$
