Let the no. be x
So, 5/6 of x =20
x = (20 multiplied by 6)/5
x = 4 multiplied by 6
x = 24 Ans.

assume the number we try to figure our is x, and we get: 5/6 *x=20 from which we can get x=24
or in another way that is simpler to understand,we can see that if the number is devided into six pieces, then five of those amouts to 20,so each piece is 4 and the devided number is 4*6=24

Just multiply by 5/6's multiplicitive inverse, 6/5, and get 24.

(5/6)*x=20
5x = 20*6
5x = 120
x = 120 / 5
x= 24
therefor
20 is 5/6's of 24

the easiest way for me:
do 1/ (5/6) = 1.2
then multiply it by the number (20) :
1.2X 20 = 24

5/6<------>20
6/6<----->(6/6) / (5/6) x 20 = 6/5 x 20 = 24
