Question

If the value of 3/4 divided by x Is the whole number which number is the value of x?

Answer 1

A whole number is a number that has no fractional representation.

Let's test all the options for the value of x.

When dividing a fraction by another fraction, the divisor will be in its reciprocal form.

1. 3/4  × 2/3

= 6/12 = 1/2

1/2 isn't a whole number.

2. 3/4 × 2/1

= 6/4 = 3/2

3/2 isn't a whole number.

3. 3/4 × 6/1

= 18/4 = 9/2

9/2 isn't a whole number.

4. 3/4 × 8/1

= 24/4 = 6

6 is a whole number.

Hence the answer is 1/8.

Hope it helps. :)
