What times 2/3 equals 4/7?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What times 2/3 equals 4/7?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(x) • (2/3) = (4/7)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 2/3 on both sides like this:

((x) • (2/3)) / (2/3) = (4/7) / (2/3)

((x) • (2/3)) / (2/3) leaves x and (4/7) / (2/3) is 6/7 which means we end up with this x = 6/7. Therefore, the answer to "What times 2/3 equals 4/7?" is as follows:

6/7

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 3/4 for x in this equation (x) • (2/3) = (4/7), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(6/7) • (2/3) = (4/7)
