4/6 times what equals 1/8?
Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "4/6 times what equals 1/8?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".
(4/6) • (x) = (1/8)
To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 4/6 on both sides like this:
((4/6) • (x)) / (4/6) = (1/8) / (4/6)
((4/6) • (x)) / (4/6) leaves x and (1/8) / (4/6) is 3/16 which means we end up with this x = 3/16. Therefore, the answer to "4/6 times what equals 1/8?" is as follows:
3/16
It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 3/16 for x in this equation (4/6) • (x) = (1/8), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.
(4/6) • (3/16) = (1/8)
