What times 5/6 equals 8/1?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What times 5/6 equals 8/1?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(x) • (5/6) = (8/1)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 5/6 on both sides like this:

((x) • (5/6)) / (5/6) = (8/1) / (5/6)

((x) • (5/6)) / (5/6) leaves x and (8/1) / (5/6) is 9 3/5 which means we end up with this x = 9 3/5. Therefore, the answer to "What times 5/6 equals 8/1?" is as follows:

9 3/5

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) • (5/6) = (8/1), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(9 3/5) • (5/6) = (8/1)
