Question

fractions equivalent to 7:1
77: blank

Answer 1

To find a fraction equivalent to \( 7:1 \) in the form \( 77: x \), you can set up a proportion:

\[ \frac{7}{1} = \frac{77}{x} \]

Now, cross-multiply:

\[ 7x = 77 \cdot 1 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 7x = 77 \]

Now, solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 7:

\[ x = \frac{77}{7} = 11 \]

So, the blank should be filled with \( 11 \). Therefore, \( 77:11 \) is equivalent to \( 7:1 \).
