Question

what is:72x$\frac{5}{?12}$x5x$\frac{1}{12?}$= blank x1________ =360 -------- = 12 blankim confused pls help me

Answer 1

In the first blank, we have to put in the number 72 because it's only separating the fraction 5/12 into a product.

$72\times\frac{5}{12}=72\times5\times\frac{1}{12}$

Then, in the second blank, we have to put in the number 360 because that's the product between 72 and 5.

$72\times\frac{5}{12}=72\times5\times\frac{1}{12}=\frac{360\times1}{12}$

In the third blank, we have to put in the number 12 because that's the denominator

$72\times\frac{5}{12}=72\times5\times\frac{1}{12}=\frac{360\times1}{12}=\frac{360}{12}$

In the last blank, we have to put in the number 30 because that's the result from the division between 360 and 12.

Hence, the complete expression would be

$72\times\frac{5}{12}=72\times5\times\frac{1}{12}=\frac{360\times1}{12}=\frac{360}{12}=30$
