What times 4/6 equals 1/4?

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

(x) • (4/6) = (1/4)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 4/6 on both sides like this:

((x) • (4/6)) / (4/6) = (1/4) / (4/6)

((x) • (4/6)) / (4/6) leaves x and (1/4) / (4/6) is 3/8 which means we end up with this x = 3/8. Therefore, the answer to "What times 4/6 equals 1/4?" is as follows:

3/8

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

(3/8) • (4/6) = (1/4)
