Type the missing number that makes these fractions equal:

Question

1/_ = 6/18

Answer 1

To find the missing number that makes the fractions equal, we can set up the equation:

\[ \frac{1}{x} = \frac{6}{18} \]

First, we simplify the fraction \(\frac{6}{18}\):

\[ \frac{6}{18} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Now we have:

\[ \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{3} \]

To solve for \(x\), we can set the denominators equal to each other:

\[ x = 3 \]

Thus, the missing number is:

\[ \boxed{3} \]
