1/6 = /12 fill in the blank

To fill in the blank in the equation \( \frac{1}{6} = \frac{x}{12} \), you can find \( x \) by cross-multiplying:

\[ 1 \times 12 = 6 \times x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 12 = 6x \]

Now, divide both sides by 6:

\[ x = \frac{12}{6} = 2 \]

So, the complete equation is:

\[ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{12} \]

The blank can be filled with the number 2.
