3/4 times what equals 4/9?
Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "3/4 times what equals 4/9?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".
(3/4) • (x) = (4/9)
To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 3/4 on both sides like this:
((3/4) • (x)) / (3/4) = (4/9) / (3/4)
((3/4) • (x)) / (3/4) leaves x and (4/9) / (3/4) is 16/27 which means we end up with this x = 16/27. Therefore, the answer to "3/4 times what equals 4/9?" is as follows:
16/27
It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 16/27 for x in this equation (3/4) • (x) = (4/9), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.
(3/4) • (16/27) = (4/9)
