Question

Find the number, if 3 1/3 of it is 10

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want a number that if it is multiplied by 3 1/3 the result will be 10. Let the number be x

3 1/3 * x = 10                         Change to a mixed number

10/3 * x = 10                          Multiply by 3/10

(10/3)*x * 3/10 = 10 * 3/10     Combine

x = 10*3 / 10                          Simplify

x = 30/10 = 3
