Find the value in the blank.$\frac{6}{17} = \frac{18}{...}$

Given :

The given expression is $\frac{6}{17} = \frac{18}{...}$.

To do :

We have to find the value in the blank.

Solution :

Let the required number be $=$ a.

$\frac{6}{17} = \frac{18}{a}$

$6a = 18 \times 17$

Transpose 6 to the opposite side,

$a = \frac{18 \times 17}{6}$.            

$a = 3 \times 17$                                          $[3 \times 6 = 18]$

$a = 51$

So, the required number is 51.
