Given:
3/6 = 8/?
Determine the missing number.
Solution:
In order to determine the missing number, we can equate the missing number as x.
3/6 = 8/x
Solve for x.
Multiply x on both sides of the equation to cancel out x in the denominatoir.
3/6 = 8/x
(x)(3/6) = (x)(8/x)
3/6x = 8
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6/3 which is the reciprocal of 3/6 in order to cancel out 3/6x, leaving behind x.
(3/6x)(6/3) = (8)(6/3)
x = 48/3
x = 16
Final answer:
x = 16
