To fill in the missing numbers in the equation:
?/5 - 1/2 = 3/?
Let's begin by finding a common denominator for the fractions. The least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as:
(2? - 5)/10 = 3/?
Next, we can cross-multiply to eliminate the denominators:
2? - 5 = (3 * 10)/?
2? - 5 = 30/?
Now, let's solve for the missing values.
2? - 5 = 30
Adding 5 to both sides:
2? = 35
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to find the missing value:
? = 35/2
So, the missing value is 35/2.
