To make the fractions equivalent, we need to find the missing number in the numerator of the second fraction that will result in an equivalent fraction when the denominators are the same.
To do this, we can set up a proportion:
7/12 = x/48.
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
7 * 48 = 12 * x.
336 = 12x.
Divide both sides of the equation by 12:
x = 336/12.
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
x = 28.
Therefore, the missing number is 28. Thus, the equivalent fraction is 7/12 = 28/48.
