What divided by 3/4 equals 2/9?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What divided by 3/4 equals 2/9?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x / (3/4) = (2/9)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by multiplying (3/4) on both sides like this:

(x / (3/4)) • 3/4 = (2/9) • (3/4)

(x / (3/4)) • 3/4 leaves x and (2/9) • (3/4) is 1/6 which means we end up with this x = 1/6. Therefore, the answer to "What divided by 3/4 equals 2/9?" is as follows:

1/6

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 1/6 for x in this equation x / (3/4) = (2/9), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(1/6) / (3/4) = (2/9)
