Question

The product of 3/4 and a number is 16

Answer 1

21 1/3

Explanation:

Write this as an expression

3/4 x = 16

Now it is a one step equation

divide 3/4 from its self and 16

3/4 divided by 16 = 21 1/3

x= 21 1/3

Answer 2

`21(1)/(3)` or 21.3

Explanation:

We are given that the product of
`\frac { 3 } { 4 }` and a number is
`1 6`.

Assuming that number to be
`x`, we can write it as:

`\frac { 3 } { 4 } * x = 1 6`

Taking the denominator to the other side of equation and multiplying it to get:

`3 x = 1 6 * 4`

`3 x = 6 4`

Isolating the variable to get:

`x = \frac { 6 4 } { 3 }`

`x = 21(1)/(3)` or
`x = 21.3`
