Question

If 5/8 of a number is 40, what is quarter of the number

Answer 1

Answer: 16

If 5/8 of a number, let's call it x, is 40, we can set up the following equation:

5/8 * x = 40

Dividing both sides by 5/8, we get x = 64

Now that we know that the number is 64, we can find a quarter of it by multiplying by 1/4 as follows:

64 * (1/4) = 16
