Question

What is eight times a number equals 4 times the 9?

Answer 1

9/2

Explanation:

Let the unknown number = n

Therefore, we can decode your question in the following manner:

8 x n = 4 x 9

Recognize that 4 x 9 = 36

So, 8 x n = 36

Lets divide 8 in both sides

n = 36/8 = 9/2

Therefore, n = 9/2

Answer 2

x=4.5

Explanation:

8*x = 4*9

8x = 36

x = 4.5
