You can set up an equation based off of the information given:

x represents the unknown number

3/5x - 1 = 23

add 1 to both sides to isolate the 3/5x

3/5x = 24

divide both sides by 3/5 to solve for x

x = 120/3

120/3 can be simplified into 40

Final answer: x = 40

Marizza181 [45]

Complete the steps 4/9 divided by 1/2
DedPeter [7]

Answer: 0.88 (the 8 recurs)

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{9}÷\frac{1}{2}

\frac{4}{9}×\frac{2}{1}  (Then the the fraction should reciprocal so the values should shift to          the opposite side were 2 goes up and 1 goes down and the sign turns to the multiplication sign)

then u should multiply the two fractions which gives 8/9

next you should divide 8 by 9 which gives 0.88(the number eight is recurring which means that the number 8 keeps repeating no matter how many times you try to divide)
