Question

The product of three-fourths and a number is 18. What is the number?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer:

24
