Question

A number is divided by 9. When

the quotient is multiplied by 6,
the product is 108. What is the
number?
Explain how you found the
answer.

Answer 1

The number is 162.

Explanation:

Let's let the number =n

So, we can set up an equation.

(n/9) is a number divided by 9.

Its "quotient" (the answer to that expression) is multiplied by 6.

6(n/9)

The product (answer) is 108.

6(n/9) = 108.

Then we can solve.

6(n/9) = 108

(n/9) = 18

n = 162
