Question

2/3=480,what is 1/4 of this?

Answer 1

I think It should say "2/3 x = 480.  What is 1/4 of x?"

Divide both sides by 2/3 to get

x = 480/(2/3) = 480*(3/2) = 720

1/4 of x is 1/4(720) = 180.  

So the answer is 180.

Answer 2

Here is the problem written:  (2/3x=480)/4=y

First, solve for x inside the parenthesis.  Multiply each side inside the parenthesis by 3

(2/3x*3=480*3)/4=y

and you get

(2x=1140)/4=y

Inside the parenthesis, divide each side by two

(2x/2=1140/2)/4=y

and you get

(x=720)/4=y

which is

720/4=y

Now divide 720 by 4 and you get

180=y

so the answer is 180

Answer 3

2/3 does NOT equal 480.

Learn basic arithmetic please.

Answer 4

(2/3)=480 --> 480/2 =240 ( is 1/3 )

240 * 3 = total = 720

720 * (1/4) = 180

or if i misunderstood (1/4) * 480 = 45
