To find the unknown value in the pair of equivalent fractions, we need to set up a proportion.
The proportion can be set up as:
14/20 = x/60
To solve for x, we can cross multiply. This means multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and vice versa:
20 * x = 14 * 60
Simplifying the equation:
20x = 840
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 20 to solve for x:
x = 840/20
x = 42
Therefore, the unknown value in the pair of equivalent fractions is 42.
