Question

If one-sixth is one-half of three-fourths of a certain number, what is that number?

Answer 1

`(4)/(9)`

Explanation:

`(1)/(6)` =
`(1)/(2)`
`((3)/(4))`x

`(1)/(6)` =
`(3)/(8)` x Multiply both sides by
`(8)/(3)`

`(1)/(6)`
`((8)/(3))` =
`(3)/(8)`
`((8)/(3))`x

`(8)/(18)` = x Divide the top and bottom by 2

x =
`(4)/(9)`
