What times 4/5 equals 6/1?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What times 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 dividing 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 7 1/2 which means we end up with this x = 7 1/2. Therefore, the answer to "What times 4/5 equals 6/1?" is as follows:

7 1/2

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) • (4/5) = (6/1), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(7 1/2) • (4/5) = (6/1)
