To find the number that must replace x and y to make the three fractions equivalent, we need to find a common denominator.
The first fraction, 6/14, can be simplified to 3/7 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 2.
To make the second fraction, x/7, equivalent to 3/7, x must be equal to 3.
In the third fraction, 24/y, to make it equivalent to 3/7, y must be equal to 8.
So, x = 3 and y = 8.
What number must replace x and y for the three fractions to become equivalent
6/14= x/7=24/y
