Question

4/7 of a number is 36 What is the number?

Answer 1

$\text{If the number is x,}\\\\~~~~~\dfrac 47 \cdot x =36\\\\\implies 4x = 36 \times 7\\\\\implies x =\dfrac{36 \times 7}4\\ \\\implies x = 9 \times 7\\\\\implies x = 63\\\\\text{Hence, the number is 63.}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\:x = 63}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

• 4/7th of a number = 36

Let's take the unknown number as 'x'.

Now,

4/7 × x = 36

Take the reciprocal of 4/7 to the other side of the equation .

x = 36 × 7/4

Cancel 36 by 4.

x = 9 × 7

Multiply the 2 numbers

x = 63
