Answer: If he has 3 mystery books, and those are 1/8 of his whole collection, he has 24 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 = 1/8 × x

multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1 ("flipped fraction")

8 × 3 = 8/1(1/8) x When you multiply a fraction by its reciprocal, it produces 1, so it "cancels" in the multiplication

24 = x 

This may seem complicated, but understanding the process will help you solve more complicated questions like this in the future, I hope.

Rewrite: 72x3/4 please show how you got answer

Alex_Xolod [135]

We have been given the expression

$72 \times \frac{3}{4}$

We can rewrite the expression as $\frac{72\times 3}{4}$

In order to simplify the given expression, we can check if we have any common terms in the numerator and denominator.

We can write the term 72 which is in the numerator as $18\times 4$

Thus, the expression becomes

$\frac{18\times 4\times 3}{4}$

We can see that 4 is common in both numerator and denominator. Hence, we can cancel 4. Thus, we are left with

$18 \times 3\\
=54$

Therefore, we can rewrite the given expression as 54.
