4/3 times what equals 3/4?

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

(4/3) • (x) = (3/4)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 4/3 on both sides like this:

((4/3) • (x)) / (4/3) = (3/4) / (4/3)

((4/3) • (x)) / (4/3) leaves x and (3/4) / (4/3) is 9/16 which means we end up with this x = 9/16. Therefore, the answer to "4/3 times what equals 3/4?" is as follows:

9/16

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 9/16 for x in this equation (4/3) • (x) = (3/4), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(4/3) • (9/16) = (3/4)
