You can multiply is numerator and denominator by the same number
no, because there is an infinite number of possibilities
An equivalent fraction is just a multiple of the one that you have (i.e it is the one that you have, scaled up or down). So multiply the fraction that you have until either the numerator or the denominator match the given numerator/denominator of the fraction with the missing number. The number in the corresponding place on the fraction that you multiplied is the missing number.
When dividing a whole number by a fraction with a numerator of 1, you can think of the division as a fraction divided by a fraction. To find the quotient, you can multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction (flipping the fraction), which is essentially the same as multiplying by the fraction's denominator. This process is based on the concept that division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal.
