Question

Find the missing numbers that make the fractions equivalent.

$\frac{24}{32}=\frac{\square }{4}$

Answer 1

Let the missing number be $\text{"x"}$.

Now, the question can be written as - $\frac{24}{32}=\frac{\text{x}}{4}$

By cross-multiplication method,

$$\begin{gathered} 32x=24\times 4 \\ x=\frac{24\times 4}{32} \\ x=\frac{24}{8} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the missing number to make the fractions equivalent is $"3".$
