Question

How do I find a missing numerator when multiplying fractions

Answer 1

The given expression :

`(2)/(3)*(?)/(5)=(14)/(15)`

Let the missing term is x

`(2)/(3)*(x)/(5)=(14)/(15)`

Simplify :

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(3*5)=(14)/(15) \\ (2x)/(15)=(14)/(15) \\ \text{Apply cross multiplication:} \\ 2x=(14)/(15)*15 \\ 2x=14 \\ x=(14)/(2) \\ x=7 \end{gathered}`

So, x = 7

Missing Numerator is 7

Answer : Missing Numerator is 7
