Question

Usiñg bar to find missing numerator
1/2= /4

Answer 1

To find the missing numerator in the proportion \( \frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{4} \):

1. Start by cross-multiplying:
\[
1 \cdot 4 = 2 \cdot x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4 = 2x
\]

2. Next, solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 2:
\[
x = \frac{4}{2} = 2
\]

So, the missing numerator is \( 2 \). Hence, \( \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \).
