24

Find the number that 9 multiplies by to get 54

so

9x6=54

do the same to four

4x6=24

Or

cross multiply

Lets put N as the missing number

4x54=9xN

Solve

216=9N

Answer:

24

Explanation:

We can solve this using cross multiplication (multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first):


(4)/(9)=(x)/(54)

Note that we are using x to represent the blank


216=9x

Divide both sides by 9 (we can do this because of the division property of equality)


(216)/(9)=(9x)/(9)\\

x=24
