Q. As a fraction in simplest terms, what would you multiply the first number by to get the second?\newlineFirst number: 2828 Second number: 2626\newline28=26 28 \cdot \square=26
  1. Identify Numbers and Operation: Identify the numbers involved and the operation needed.\newlineWe need to find a fraction that when multiplied by the first number 2828 gives the second number 2626.
  2. Set Up Equation: Set up the equation to find the fraction.\newlineLet the fraction be represented by x/yx/y. We have:\newline28×(x/y)=2628 \times (x/y) = 26
  3. Solve for Fraction: Solve for the fraction xy\frac{x}{y}.\newlineTo isolate xy\frac{x}{y}, we divide both sides of the equation by 2828:\newlinexy=2628\frac{x}{y} = \frac{26}{28}
  4. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction on the right-hand side. 2626 and 2828 have a common factor of 22. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 22 gives: (x/y)=13/14(x/y) = 13 / 14
  5. Check Result: Check the result.\newlineMultiplying 2828 by 1314\frac{13}{14} should give us 2626:\newline28×(1314)=(2814)×13=2×13=2628 \times \left(\frac{13}{14}\right) = \left(\frac{28}{14}\right) \times 13 = 2 \times 13 = 26\newlineThis confirms that our fraction is correct.
