Find the missing number and express it as a fraction in its simplest form.
$ \frac{5}{18} \div \square=\frac{2}{3} $
Given: $\frac{5}{18} \div \square=\frac{2}{3}$
To Do: Find the missing number and express it as a fraction in its simplest form.
Solution:
Let the unknown number be (x).
$\frac{5}{18}$ divided by $x$ = $\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{2}{3} \times x$
$\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{2x}{3}$
$\frac{2x}{3}$ = $\frac{5}{18}$
$x = \frac{5}{18}$ $\times \frac{3}{2}$
$x = \frac{5 \times 3} {18 \times 2}$
$x = \frac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 2}$ [$3 \times 6 = 18$]
$x = \frac{5}{12}$
Therefore the value of $x= \frac{5}{12}$
