5/6 of a number is 3/4 What is the number? I am confused anyone can help me?

Answer 1

5/6 x = 3/4
multiply both sides by 6/5
x = 18/20 = 9/10
the number is 9/10

Answer 2

Try writing the word problem in math symbols:

(5/6) * X = (3/4)

Then solve for X and that is the answer:

(6/5) * (5/6) * X = (3/4) * (6/5)

(30/30) * X = (18/20)

1 * X = (9/10)
X = 9/10

Answer 3

Let us say {(5/6)n=3/4}
You would multiply 6 by 3/4 you get 9/2 for 5n. Then divide the 9/2 by 5 hence
n=9/10

Answer 4

let the no. be 'x'
5/6 of x=3/4
x=9/10

verify:
9/10* 5/6 =3/4

Answer 5

if 5/6 =3/4 then
5/6 = .75

5/6 = .75/x

if you have ever learned cross ultiplication, then you just do this:

0.75 x 6 divided by 5 = your answer

0.75 x 6 / 5 = 0.9

0.9 is your answer

Answer 6

let the no be x
5/6x=3/4
x=3/4 / 5/6
x=3/4*6/5
x=9/10
