Type the missing number that makes these fractions equal: 7/14 = 1/_

Answer 1

To make the fractions \( \frac{7}{14} \) and \( \frac{1}{x} \) equal, we can simplify \( \frac{7}{14} \).

Simplifying \( \frac{7}{14} \) gives us:

\[ \frac{7 \div 7}{14 \div 7} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Now we set this equal to \( \frac{1}{x} \):

\[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{x} \]

From this, it is clear that \( x = 2 \).

Thus, the missing number is 2.
