3/4 times what equals 5/5?
Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "3/4 times what equals 5/5?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".
(3/4) • (x) = (5/5)
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) = (5/5) / (3/4)
((3/4) • (x)) / (3/4) leaves x and (5/5) / (3/4) is 1 1/3 which means we end up with this x = 1 1/3. Therefore, the answer to "3/4 times what equals 5/5?" is as follows:
1 1/3
It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 1 1/3 for x in this equation (3/4) • (x) = (5/5), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.
(3/4) • (1 1/3) = (5/5)
