We need write a word problem which is solved by the above expression.
Word problem : In a class there are 8 boys and these are 2/3rd parts of total students. How many students are there.
Solution:
Let the total number student be x.
![x* (2)/(3)=8](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/6grc5hjcq7vsiv840o9uweayq434igq2cr.png)
Divide both sides by 2/3.
![x=(8)/((2)/(3))](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/4f9lzxt25opwtn5sgb5ywof06cvbaxfj91.png)
![x=(8* 3)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/yhk1xs9rgny9uqd8ao23dxj6g2maii4qey.png)
![x=12](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/l1rya1wlm4u6xxftxrhbufsqe6qjhgea2l.png)
Therefore, the total number of students is 12.
