Find three fractions equal to $\frac{0}{6}$. Enter the correct numerator to match the new denominator.



$\frac{0}{6}=\frac{\square}{12}$ (Simplify your answer.)



$\frac{0}{6}=\frac{\square}{30}$ (Simplify your answer.)



$\frac{0}{6}=\frac{\square}{48}$ (Simplify your answer.)

Verified Answer :

  • The fraction \(\frac{0}{6}\) has a value of 0.
  • For any non-zero denominator \(D\), the equation \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{n}{D}\) requires \(n = 0\).
  • Applying this to the given denominators 12, 30, and 48, we find the corresponding numerators are all 0.
  • The final answer is \(\boxed{0, 0, 0}\).

Explanation

  1. Analyzing the Problem

We are given the fraction \(\frac{0}{6}\). To find an equivalent fraction \(\frac{n}{D}\) where \(D\) is a new denominator, we rely on the property that two fractions \(\frac{a}{b}\) and \(\frac{c}{d}\) are equivalent if and only if \(a \cdot d = b \cdot c\). For the fraction \(\frac{0}{6}\), the value is \(0\) because \(0 \div 6 = 0\). Therefore, any fraction \(\frac{n}{D}\) equivalent to \(\frac{0}{6}\) must satisfy \(\frac{n}{D} = 0\), which implies that the numerator \(n\) must be \(0\) (as long as the denominator \(D eq 0\)).

  1. Finding the Equivalent Fractions

To find the equivalent fraction for the denominator 12, we set \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{n_1}{12}\). Multiplying both sides by 12, we get \(n_1 = 12 \times \frac{0}{6} = 12 \times 0 = 0\). Thus, \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{0}{12}\). Similarly, for the denominator 30, we set \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{n_2}{30}\), which gives \(n_2 = 30 \times 0 = 0\), so \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{0}{30}\). Finally, for the denominator 48, we set \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{n_3}{48}\), yielding \(n_3 = 48 \times 0 = 0\), so \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{0}{48}\).

  1. Conclusion

We have determined that for any non-zero denominator \(D\), the fraction equivalent to \(\frac{0}{6}\) has a numerator of \(0\). Thus, the missing numerators for the denominators 12, 30, and 48 are all 0. The results are:
\(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{0}{12}\), \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{0}{30}\), and \(\frac{0}{6} = \frac{0}{48}\). The requested values are \(\boxed{0, 0, 0}\).

Examples

In real life, if you have zero apples to divide among 6 people, each person gets 0 apples. If you have the same zero apples to divide among 12, 30, or 48 people, each person still gets 0 apples. This demonstrates that zero divided by any non-zero quantity is always zero, regardless of how many groups you are dividing it into.
