3/4 times what equals 9/1?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "3/4 times what equals 9/1?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(3/4) • (x) = (9/1)

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) = (9/1) / (3/4)

((3/4) • (x)) / (3/4) leaves x and (9/1) / (3/4) is 12 which means we end up with this x = 12. Therefore, the answer to "3/4 times what equals 9/1?" is as follows:

12

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 12 for x in this equation (3/4) • (x) = (9/1), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(3/4) • (12) = (9/1)
