Show how to solve \(\frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{?}\).

Asked by arp1981a

Answer (3)

** ** There are two way sof doing this question: 1st solution is : *** 6/15 = 2/ 5 because 6/15 is divisible by 3 and it is done by this form : 3 X 2 = 6 and 3 X 5 = 15 ** * 2nd solution is: ** 6/15 = 2/? here we suppose that the missing value is * x: * 6/15 = 2/x** ** you shift the denominators and then multiply them by the their numerators: ** 6 * x = 15 * 2 6x = 30 ** now you divide 6 on both sides** : *** * ** 6x/6 = 30/6 * ** x = 5 ******

6 / 15 = 2 / x
6x = 30
x = 30 / 6 = 5

To solve 15 6 ​ = ? 2 ​ , we cross-multiply to get 6 x = 30 . Dividing both sides by 6 gives us x = 5 . Thus, the answer is 5 2 ​ .
