Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the unknown number is $\frac{1}{27}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that if 4/9 is divided by an unknown number then the result is equal to 12.

We need to find the unknown number.

Let the unknown number be x.

$\dfrac{\frac{4}{9}}{x}=12$

It can be rewritten as

$\dfrac{4}{9x}=12$

Multiply both sides by 9x.

$\dfrac{4}{9x}\times 9x=12\times 9x$

$4=108x$

Divide both sides by 108.

$\frac{4}{108}=x$

$\frac{1}{27}=x$

Therefore, the value of the unknown number is $\frac{1}{27}$.
