Solve the following:
$\frac{-3}{....}=\frac{6}{-16}=\frac{....}{24}$
Given :
The given expression is $\frac{-3}{....}=\frac{6}{-16}=\frac{....}{24}$.
To do :
We have to find unknown values in the given expression.
Solution :
Equivalent fractions:
Equivalent fractions can be defined as fractions with different numerators and denominators that represent the same value or proportion of the whole.
Therefore,
Let the unknown values be x and y.
$\frac{-3}{x} = \frac{6}{-16}$
$(-3)(-16) = 6(x)$
$48 = 6x$
$x = \frac{48}{6}$
$x = 8$.
$\frac{6}{-16} = \frac{y}{24}$
$6(24) = y(-16)$
$144 = -16y$
$y = \frac{144}{-16}$
$y = \frac{-144}{16}$
$y = -9$
Therefore,
$\frac{-3}{8} = \frac{6}{-16} = \frac{-9}{24}$.
Therefore, the unknown values are 8 and $-9$.
