3/7 = 12/d The missing denominator is___

7/10 = n/100 The missing denominator is____

1 answer

To find the missing denominators in the equations, we can cross multiply.

  1. For the equation \( \frac{3}{7} = \frac{12}{d} \):

    Cross multiplying gives: \[ 3d = 7 \times 12 \] \[ 3d = 84 \] Now, divide both sides by 3: \[ d = \frac{84}{3} = 28 \] So, the missing denominator is 28.

  2. For the equation \( \frac{7}{10} = \frac{n}{100} \):

    Cross multiplying gives: \[ 7 \times 100 = 10n \] \[ 700 = 10n \] Now, divide both sides by 10: \[ n = \frac{700}{10} = 70 \] So, the missing numerator is 70.

To summarize:

  • The missing denominator \( d \) in the first equation is 28.
  • The missing numerator \( n \) in the second equation is 70.
