1. Let's solve the first problem: $\frac{4}{10} = \frac{\_}{60}$. We want to find the missing number in the numerator.
2. To find the missing number, we use the rule that if two fractions are equal, their cross products are equal: $4 \times 60 = 10 \times \_$.
3. Calculate the left side: $4 \times 60 = 240$.
4. So, $240 = 10 \times \_$. To find the missing number, divide both sides by 10:
$$\cancel{10} \times \_ = \frac{240}{\cancel{10}}$$
$$\_ = 24$$
5. The missing number is 24, so $\frac{4}{10} = \frac{24}{60}$.
6. Now, the second problem: $\frac{3}{5} = \frac{12}{\_}$. Find the missing denominator.
7. Cross multiply: $3 \times \_ = 5 \times 12$.
8. Calculate the right side: $5 \times 12 = 60$.
9. So, $3 \times \_ = 60$. Divide both sides by 3:
$$\cancel{3} \times \_ = \frac{60}{\cancel{3}}$$
$$\_ = 20$$
10. The missing denominator is 20, so $\frac{3}{5} = \frac{12}{20}$.
11. Third problem: $\_ = \frac{42}{77} \div 6$. We want to find the missing numerator.
12. Dividing by 6 is the same as multiplying by $\frac{1}{6}$:
$$\_ = \frac{42}{77} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{42 \times 1}{77 \times 6} = \frac{42}{462}$$
13. Simplify $\frac{42}{462}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by 42:
$$\frac{\cancel{42}}{\cancel{462}} = \frac{1}{11}$$
14. So, the missing numerator is $\frac{1}{11}$.
15. Fourth problem: $\frac{\_}{9} = \frac{36}{81}$. Find the missing numerator.
16. Cross multiply: $\_ \times 81 = 36 \times 9$.
17. Calculate right side: $36 \times 9 = 324$.
18. So, $81 \times \_ = 324$. Divide both sides by 81:
$$\cancel{81} \times \_ = \frac{324}{\cancel{81}}$$
$$\_ = 4$$
19. The missing numerator is 4, so $\frac{4}{9} = \frac{36}{81}$.
Final answers:
- $\frac{4}{10} = \frac{24}{60}$
- $\frac{3}{5} = \frac{12}{20}$
- $\_ = \frac{1}{11}$ for $\frac{6\_}{42/77}$ (interpreted as $\frac{6\_}{1} = \frac{42}{77}$ divided by 6)
- $\frac{4}{9} = \frac{36}{81}$
