Answer:
t = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the fraction on the left, 1/3.
Notice that the denominator is 3 times the numerator.
Since the fractions are equal, for the second fraction, you also need the denominator to be 3 times the numerator. Since the denominator is 6, the numerator must be 2 since 6 is 3 times 2.
Answer: t = 2
Of course, since you have two fractions that are equal, and fractions are also ratios, you have a proportion.
You can solve the problem as a proportion.
1/3 = t/6
Cross multiply:
3t = 1 × 6
3t = 6
t = 6/3
t = 2
Either way, you get t = 2.
