Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
I think I can help.
Lets use the first problem and walk through it and I think it could help you with the others.
3/7 = ?/49
So basically with these problems you are working backwards. You are working right to left and dividing to figure out what you will need to multiply the other part of the fraction by.
So here we have 49 and 7 that line up with each other. (Always look for the fractions that line up horizontally)
Going right to left and dividing :
49 / 7
= 7
So we know that it was 7 x 7 to get that 49
So now we used the number we just found by dividing (7) and multiply it left to right by the other number to find the missing number (?).
If we do this we do :
3 x 7
= 21
And that is the missing number !
We plug that in right where the blank is (?) and we get :
3/7 = 21/49
I am not sure if you have to simplify this but you cant anyways. If you have questions about simplifying ask in the comments.
To check this we can actually multiply the side that had two numbers to begin with (the left side numbers) and multiply it by the number we found by dividing (7).
So we do this with 3/7 :
3 x 7 = 21
7 x 7 = 49
if we plug this back in we get :
21/49 = 29/49 and we know this is correct.
I hope this helps you solve the other problems. If you have any questions or are still confused with others please message me or comment and I will do what I can to help. :)
