Q. As a fraction in simplest terms, what would you multiply the first number by to get the second?\newlineFirst number: 1212 Second number: 2626\newline12=26 12 \cdot \square=26
  1. Calculate Fraction: Determine the fraction needed to multiply 1212 to get 2626. To find this fraction, divide 2626 by 1212. 26/12=2.166666...26 / 12 = 2.166666...
  2. Convert Decimal to Fraction: Express the decimal as a fraction. 2.1666662.166666\ldots is approximately 22 and 16\frac{1}{6} when expressed as a mixed number. To convert this to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number 22 by the denominator 66 and add the numerator 11. (2×6)+1=13(2 \times 6) + 1 = 13 So, the fraction is 136\frac{13}{6}.
  3. Check Calculation: Check the calculation by multiplying the fraction by the first number.\newline12×(136)=(121)×(136)=(12×131×6)=1566=2612 \times \left(\frac{13}{6}\right) = \left(\frac{12}{1}\right) \times \left(\frac{13}{6}\right) = \left(\frac{12 \times 13}{1 \times 6}\right) = \frac{156}{6} = 26\newlineThis confirms that the fraction 136\frac{13}{6}, when multiplied by 1212, gives 2626.
