Question

If 5/6 of a number is 3/4. What is the number?

Answer 1

Let N= number

(5/6)N= 3/4

5N/6=  3/4

5N( 4) = 6(3)

20 N= 18

N= 18/20

N= 9/10

Answer 2

let the number be x,

5x/6=3/4

so,x=(3/4)(6/5)=18/20=9/10=.9

Answer 3

n = number

(5/6)(n) = 3/4

Multiply both sides by 6/5

n = 18/20 = 9/10

Answer 4

write it out like it sounds.

5/6 * x = 3/4

solve for x.

easier?

well since everyone else seems to be doing the problem for you, i'll suggest you plug the answer into the original equation to check your work.

5/6 * 9/10 = 45/60 = 3/4  ...guess they are right.
