Answer:

24

Explanation:

Set it up as an equation, where x represents the number

3/4 * x = 18

Solve the equation by multiplying both sides by 4/3

x = 18 * 4/3

x = 24

For this case we have to:

x: Be the variable that represents the unknown

Then according to the statement we have:

$\frac {3} {4} * x = 18$

To find the number we clear "x":

We multiply by 4 on both sides of the equation:

$3x = 18 * 4\\3x = 72$

We divide by 3 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {72} {3}\\x = 24$

So, the number is 24.
