4/9 times what equals 2/2?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "4/9 times what equals 2/2?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(4/9) • (x) = (2/2)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 4/9 on both sides like this:

((4/9) • (x)) / (4/9) = (2/2) / (4/9)

((4/9) • (x)) / (4/9) leaves x and (2/2) / (4/9) is 2 1/4 which means we end up with this x = 2 1/4. Therefore, the answer to "4/9 times what equals 2/2?" is as follows:

2 1/4

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 2 1/4 for x in this equation (4/9) • (x) = (2/2), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(4/9) • (2 1/4) = (2/2)
