STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the missing numbers in these fractions so that they are equivalent! Watch out! Don't flip the fractions around accidentally; keep the matching parts lined up correctly!

STEP 2

1. Solve for *a*
2. Solve for *b*
3. Solve for *c*
4. Solve for *d*
5. Solve for *e*
6. Solve for *f*

STEP 3

We have 36=11a\frac{3}{6} = \frac{11}{a}.
We want to find *a*.
Let's **cross-multiply**: 3a=6113 \cdot a = 6 \cdot 11.

STEP 4

So, 3a=663a = 66.
Now, we want to **isolate** \textit{a}.
We can do this by dividing both sides by **3**.
Remember, we're effectively dividing by one, since 33=1\frac{3}{3} = 1, and multiplying by one doesn't change the value of the other side!

STEP 5

We get a=663=22a = \frac{66}{3} = 22.
So, a=22a = \textbf{22}!

STEP 6

We have 240=b60\frac{2}{40} = \frac{b}{60}. **Cross-multiply**: 260=40b2 \cdot 60 = 40 \cdot b, or 120=40b120 = 40b.

STEP 7

**Divide both sides by 40** to isolate *b*: b=12040=3b = \frac{120}{40} = 3.
So b=3b = \textbf{3}!

STEP 8

We have 535=c420\frac{5}{35} = \frac{c}{420}. **Cross-multiply**: 5420=35c5 \cdot 420 = 35 \cdot c, or 2100=35c2100 = 35c.

STEP 9

**Divide both sides by 35** to get c=210035=60c = \frac{2100}{35} = 60.
So c=60c = \textbf{60}!

STEP 10

We have 68=42d\frac{6}{8} = \frac{42}{d}. **Cross-multiply**: 6d=8426 \cdot d = 8 \cdot 42, or 6d=3366d = 336.

STEP 11

**Divide both sides by 6**: d=3366=56d = \frac{336}{6} = 56.
Thus, d=56d = \textbf{56}!

STEP 12

We have e8=3540\frac{e}{8} = \frac{35}{40}. **Cross-multiply**: e40=835e \cdot 40 = 8 \cdot 35, which simplifies to 40e=28040e = 280.

STEP 13

**Divide both sides by 40**: e=28040=7e = \frac{280}{40} = 7.
So, e=7e = \textbf{7}!

STEP 14

We have 2f=642\frac{2}{f} = \frac{6}{42}. **Cross-multiply**: 242=6f2 \cdot 42 = 6 \cdot f, or 84=6f84 = 6f.

STEP 15

**Divide both sides by 6**: f=846=14f = \frac{84}{6} = 14.
Therefore, f=14f = \textbf{14}!

STEP 16

a=22a = 22, b=3b = 3, c=60c = 60, d=56d = 56, e=7e = 7, and f=14f = 14.
