Question

What is the answer to 2/3 of something equals 10

Answer 1

If you want to calculate the fraction of the number, multiply this number by the fraction:


`(2)/(3)*?=10`

therefore


`?=10:(2)/(3)=10*(3)/(2)=5*3=\boxed{15}`

Answer 2

In math, when you see the word "of" it usually means "times".

So the question is:

2/3 times something = 10

Multiply each side of the equation by 3 :

2 times something = 30

Divide each side by 2 :

something = 15
