9/6 times what equals 2/7?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "9/6 times what equals 2/7?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(9/6) • (x) = (2/7)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 9/6 on both sides like this:

((9/6) • (x)) / (9/6) = (2/7) / (9/6)

((9/6) • (x)) / (9/6) leaves x and (2/7) / (9/6) is 4/21 which means we end up with this x = 4/21. Therefore, the answer to "9/6 times what equals 2/7?" is as follows:

4/21

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 4/21 for x in this equation (9/6) • (x) = (2/7), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(9/6) • (4/21) = (2/7)
