Half of the number is 26
therefore the number is 26 x 2 = 52
Now 3/4 of the number = 3/4 of 52 = 3 x 52/ 4 = 156/ 4 = 39

If Half of a number is 26, what is 3/4 of the number?
1/2 (x) = 26 so x = 52 (3/4) of 52 = 156 / 4 = 39

Haldf the number is 26, which means the number is two times 26, 2*26=52.
3/4 of the number are (3/4)*52=39.

The best way to answer this question is with algebraic equations.
Let x be the number, then y is 3/4 of the number.
x/2 = 26
y = (3/4)x
Solve the first equation for x.
x/2 = 36 (multiply both sides by 2)
x = 52
Now, subsititute it into the second equation and solve it for y.
y = (3/4)x
y = (3/4)52
y = 39

Here is the easy way to figure this problem out (without using algebra)
If half is 26 then half of that (or a quarter) is 13.
Therefor, 3 quarters (or 3 x 13) is 39.
Elementary my dear Watson.

1/2 of x=26, therefore x=52.
3/4 of 52 would be (52*3)/4
=39
