Type the missing number that makes these fractions equal:

Question

6/10 = 3/_

Answer 1

To determine the missing number that makes the two fractions equal, you can cross-multiply.

Starting with the equation:

\[ \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{x} \]

Cross-multiplying gives:

\[ 6 \cdot x = 3 \cdot 10 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 6x = 30 \]

Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for \(x\):

\[ x = \frac{30}{6} = 5 \]

So, the missing number is:

\[ \boxed{5} \]
