Question

Find the missing numbers that make the fractions equivalent.

$\frac{34}{51}=\frac{\square }{3}$

Answer 1

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

Now, the question can be written as - $\frac{34}{51}=\frac{\text{x}}{3}$

By cross-multiplication method,

$$\begin{gathered} 51x=34\times 3 \\ x=\frac{34\times 3}{51} \\ x=\frac{34}{17} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the missing number to make the fractions equivalent is $"2".$
