Find the missing value in the equation 9/11=?/229 / 11 = ? / 22.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given a proportion 911=?22\frac{9}{11} = \frac{?}{22}.
2. We need to find the value of '?' that makes the proportion true.

STEP 2

To solve for '?', we can use cross-multiplication. This means we multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and set it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator.
9×22=11×?9 \times 22 = 11 \times ?

STEP 3

Now, perform the multiplication on the left side of the equation.
9×22=1989 \times 22 = 198

STEP 4

Set up the equation with the product we found.
198=11×?198 = 11 \times ?

STEP 5

To solve for '?', we need to divide both sides of the equation by 11.
19811=11×?11\frac{198}{11} = \frac{11 \times ?}{11}

STEP 6

Perform the division on both sides to isolate '?'.
?=19811? = \frac{198}{11}

STEP 7

Calculate the value of '?'.
?=18? = 18
The value of '?' that makes the proportion true is 18, which corresponds to option A.
