Question

fill in the blank to make the two fractions equivalent.
\\(\frac{3}{5} = \frac{\square}{20}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Let the blank be \( x \), so we have \(\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x}{20}\)

Step2: Cross - multiply, \( 5x = 3\times20 \)

Step3: Calculate \( 3\times20 = 60 \), so \( 5x=60 \)

Step4: Solve for \( x \), \( x=\frac{60}{5}=12 \)

Answer:

12
