Use the equation to answer the question.

[tex]\frac{9}{8} = \square \times \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

What number makes the equation true? Enter the answer in the box.

[tex]\square =[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the number that makes the equation [tex]\(\frac{9}{8} = \square \times \frac{1}{8}\)[/tex] true, we need to isolate the unknown number, [tex]\(\square\)[/tex].

We start by recognizing that both sides of the equation contain a fraction with a common denominator of 8. Therefore, we can eliminate the denominator by multiplying both sides of the equation by 8. This step simplifies the equation by removing the fractions:

[tex]\[ 8 \times \frac{9}{8} = \square \times \frac{1}{8} \times 8 \][/tex]

Simplifying both sides:

[tex]\[ 9 = \square \][/tex]

Therefore, the number that makes the equation true is:

[tex]\[ \square = 9 \][/tex]

So the answer is [tex]\(9\)[/tex].
