Question

5 /8 of 48 is equal to 8 /15 of some number. What is this number?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 56.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

$\frac{5}{8}\text{ of }48$

$=5\times 6$

$=30$

Now, let x be the unknown number,

According to the question,

$\frac{5}{8}\text{ of }48 = \frac{8}{15}x$

$\implies 30=\frac{8x}{15}$

$30\times 15=8x$

$450 = 8x$

$\implies x = \frac{450}{8}=56.25$

Answer 2

5/8 of 48=30

8/15*x=30
x=56.25, (30*(8/15))

Answer: 56.25

Hope this helps:)
