Question

3/4 times what equals 12

Answer 1

Answer:  The required number is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number such that $\dfrac{3}{4}$ times of that number is equal to 12.

Let the required number be represented by x.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times x=12\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=48\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{48}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=16.$

Thus, the required number is 16.

Answer 2

What is 12/3? 4.
What is 4x4? 16
So 3/4 x 16 = 12 because 12 is 3/4 of 16
