Question

If y=6 when x=2 over 3 find x when y=12

Answer 1

Answer:

4/3 or 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So if y = 6, when x = 2/3. Then, x would equal 1 and 1/3, because 12 is twice the amount of 6, so you'd also multiply 2/3 by 2.

(To multiply a whole number by a fraction, first multiply the whole number by the numerator and then divide that by the denominator. For example: 2 × 2 = 4, since you can't really divide 4 by 3 it would stay as is, but you can turn it to a mixed number. 4/3 is the same as 1 whole and an extra 1/3, or in other words 1 1/3).

Hope this helped :)
