What number must replace x and y for the three fractions to become equivalent? 6/14 = ?/7 = 24/?? (1 point) ? = , ?? =

Answer 1

To determine the missing numbers, we can set up proportions and solve for the unknowns.

For the first proportion, we have:

6/14 = x/7

To find x, we can cross-multiply:

14x = 6 * 7

14x = 42

x = 42/14

x = 3

So, the missing value to replace x is 3.

For the second proportion, we have:

x/7 = 24/y

To find y, we can cross-multiply:

xy = 24 * 7

xy = 168

Since no value for y is given, it is not possible to determine ??? in this case. Hence, we cannot determine the value to replace ??? to make the fractions equivalent.
