What divided by 4/5 equals 6/9?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What divided by 4/5 equals 6/9?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x / (4/5) = (6/9)

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 = (6/9) • (4/5)

(x / (4/5)) • 4/5 leaves x and (6/9) • (4/5) is 8/15 which means we end up with this x = 8/15. Therefore, the answer to "What divided by 4/5 equals 6/9?" is as follows:

8/15

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 8/15 for x in this equation x / (4/5) = (6/9), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(8/15) / (4/5) = (6/9)
