if 1/3of 60 = 2/3 of ?

Question

plaese help and show me how u worked it out

thank you

Answer 1

30.

1/3 times 60= 60/3=20
then 20 divided 2/3 = 20 times 3/2 = 60/2=30

To Divide by a fraction you multiply by the inverse of the faction

Answer 2

Step 1: The problem - what is x?
1/3 times (multiplied by) 60 = 2/3 times x

Step 2:
x = (1/3 times 60) / 2/3
(two thirds of x divided by two thirds equals x; however to make things equal, if you are dividing one side of the equation by two thirds, you have to divide the other side by two thirds)

Step 3: Can equation be rewritten
x = 3/2 times 1/3 times 60

Step 4: Equation can be simplified
x = 60/2

Step 5: Solution can be calculated: x= 30.

Answer 3

"of" usually means multiply
1/3 * 60 = 2/3 * ?
60/3 = 2?/3
Did you follow that simplification? One third of something is the same as something divided by 3. Therefore, two thirds of something is the same as something multiplied by 2 and divided by 3
Make everything whole numbers by multiplying both sides by 3 so
60 = 2?
And what you want to know is how much is ? so do the final arithmetic.
Good luck with the other questions which are a similar pattern.

Answer 4

30

Answer 5

1/3 of 60=60/3=20
let 20 be 2/3x
x=20(3/2)
=30
it is 2/3 of 30

Answer 6

1/3 of 60= 20 (=2/3 of ?)
1/3 of? = 20/2 = 10
3/3 of ? (or?) = 3x10 = 30

so ? = 30. Hope that helps.

Answer 7

One third of 60 is 20. Two thirds of 30 is 20. Your answer is 30.
