Question

If 3/4 of a certain number is equal to 41/2 find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{82}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

• let $x$ be that number

$(\frac{3}{4} )x = \frac{41}{2}$

$\frac{3x}{4} = \frac{41}{2}$

• multiply both sides by $4$

$\frac{3x}{4} * 4 = 4 * \frac{41}{2} \\3x = \frac{41 }{2} * 2 * 2\\3x = 41 *2 \\3x = 82$

• divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{82}{3}$

$x = \frac{82}{3}$
