What divided by 4/5 equals 6/1?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What divided by 4/5 equals 6/1?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x / (4/5) = (6/1)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by multiplying (4/5) on both sides like this:

(x / (4/5)) • 4/5 = (6/1) • (4/5)

(x / (4/5)) • 4/5 leaves x and (6/1) • (4/5) is 4 4/5 which means we end up with this x = 4 4/5. Therefore, the answer to "What divided by 4/5 equals 6/1?" is as follows:

4 4/5

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 4 4/5 for x in this equation x / (4/5) = (6/1), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(4 4/5) / (4/5) = (6/1)
