Question

If a number is divided by eleven, the solution is two-fifths. What is the number?

Answer 1

The number is 4 2/5.

Setting up the equation, we have
x/11 = 2/5

Multiply both sides by 11:
x = 2/5(11) = 2/5(11/1) = 22/5 = 4 2/5

Answer 2

let
x----------> the number

we know that
x/11=2/5-----> x=11*2/5-------> x=22/5

the answer is
the number is 22/5
