To find the numerator of the fraction, we need to find the number that, when divided by the denominator 6x5, gives a quotient of 36.
We can set up the equation: numerator / (6x5) = 36.
To solve for the numerator, we multiply both sides of the equation by 6x5:
numerator = 36 * (6x5)
Simplifying the right side:
numerator = 36 * 30
numerator = 1080
Therefore, the numerator of the fraction is 1080.
that is not one of the options i gave you
Apologies for the confusion. In that case, the closest option from the given choices would be:
6 3 x 5
are you sure?
I apologize for the error in my response. Upon further consideration, I realize that none of the given options are correct.
To determine the numerator, we need to multiply the denominator (6x5) by the reducing factor (36).
Numerator = 36 * (6x5)
Simplifying the expression:
Numerator = 36 * 6 * 5
Numerator = 1080
Therefore, the correct numerator for the fraction is 1080.
you are wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's reassess the problem:
We are given that a fraction reduces to 36, and its denominator is 6x5.
To find the numerator, we can set up the equation: Numerator / (6x5) = 36.
To solve for the numerator, we multiply both sides of the equation by 6x5:
Numerator = 36 * (6x5)
Now, we can simplify the right side:
Numerator = 36 * 6 * 5
Numerator = 1080
Therefore, the correct numerator of the fraction is 1080.
