Question

What value can be written on the blank line to make the expressions equivalent?

48 + 54 = ___ ´ (8 + 9)

Answer 1

Hello!

I believe the number that can be written in the blank space above is 6.

48+54=6'(8+9)

The number written in the blank space is 6 because when you divide 48 and 54 by their numbers, 8 and 9, you will get an answer of 6 for both numbers.

48/8=6
54/9=6

So the number in the blank space would be 6.

I hope this helps!
