To make the fractions equivalent, we need to find the value of X that will make both fractions equal.
We can start by cross-multiplying:
6 * 12 = X * 9
Simplifying, we get:
72 = 9X
To isolate X, we can divide both sides of the equation by 9:
X = 72/9
Simplifying the division, we find:
X = 8
Therefore, the number that would replace X to make the fractions equivalent is 8.
Which number would replace X to make these fractions equivalent? 6/X = 9/12
