9/5 times what equals 2/3?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "9/5 times what equals 2/3?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(9/5) • (x) = (2/3)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 9/5 on both sides like this:

((9/5) • (x)) / (9/5) = (2/3) / (9/5)

((9/5) • (x)) / (9/5) leaves x and (2/3) / (9/5) is 10/27 which means we end up with this x = 10/27. Therefore, the answer to "9/5 times what equals 2/3?" is as follows:

10/27

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 10/27 for x in this equation (9/5) • (x) = (2/3), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(9/5) • (10/27) = (2/3)
