5/?= 20/28
4
7
5
8

Answer 1

To find the missing value in the equivalent fraction \( \frac{5}{?} = \frac{20}{28} \), we can cross-multiply:

\[
5 \cdot 28 = ? \cdot 20
\]

Calculating \( 5 \cdot 28 \):

\[
5 \cdot 28 = 140
\]

Now, our equation is:

\[
140 = ? \cdot 20
\]

To find the missing value, divide both sides by 20:

\[
? = \frac{140}{20}
\]

Calculating \( \frac{140}{20} \):

\[
? = 7
\]

Thus, the missing value is \( 7 \).

So, the answer is \( 7 \).
