1/3 = ?/6

1 answer

To solve for the unknown fraction that is equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \) with a denominator of 6, you can set up an equation:

\[ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{x}{6} \]

Now, solve for \( x \) by cross-multiplying:

\[ 1 \cdot 6 = 3 \cdot x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 6 = 3x \]

Now, divide both sides by 3:

\[ x = \frac{6}{3} \]

\[ x = 2 \]

So,

\[ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6} \]

Therefore, \( \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6} \).
