What divided by 3/4 equals 3/1?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What divided by 3/4 equals 3/1?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x / (3/4) = (3/1)

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 = (3/1) • (3/4)

(x / (3/4)) • 3/4 leaves x and (3/1) • (3/4) is 2 1/4 which means we end up with this x = 2 1/4. Therefore, the answer to "What divided by 3/4 equals 3/1?" 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 x / (3/4) = (3/1), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

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