What divided by 3/1 equals 9/5?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What divided by 3/1 equals 9/5?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x / (3/1) = (9/5)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by multiplying (3/1) on both sides like this:

(x / (3/1)) • 3/1 = (9/5) • (3/1)

(x / (3/1)) • 3/1 leaves x and (9/5) • (3/1) is 5 2/5 which means we end up with this x = 5 2/5. Therefore, the answer to "What divided by 3/1 equals 9/5?" is as follows:

5 2/5

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 5 2/5 for x in this equation x / (3/1) = (9/5), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(5 2/5) / (3/1) = (9/5)
