Answer:

200 Bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of the bricks were not used(which was 50 bricks), meaning that 3/3 is 150 bricks of the pile. Since 150 is 3/4 of the original pile, that means that there was 200 bricks at the beginning.

Dividing a whole number and an improper fraction seems tricky, but it just has one or two more steps than the normal process.  First, convert the whole number "9" into a fraction by giving it a denominator of "1".  It should look like 9/1.  Now that both numbers are converted into like formats (improper fractions), you should have 9/1 divided by 5/3.

Second, flip 5/3 over into 3/5 - this is the "reciprocal". Now you have 9/1 divided by 3/5.  It's just a matter of multiplying across the math sentence.  Multiply the numerators (9x3) and the denominators (1 x 5).  Your new fraction should be 27/5.  This is your answer in the improper fraction format.

You can create other formats depending on the expected answer.  For a mixed number, "divide your fraction UP" (27 divided by 5) which gives you 5 and 2/5.  This can be further converted into 5.4 if you need your answer in decimal form.
