Question

4/7
of a number is 36
What is the number?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\bf\:x = 63}`

Explanation:

Given,

• 4/7th of a number = 36

Let's take the unknown number as 'x'.

Now,

4/7 × x = 36

Take the reciprocal of 4/7 to the other side of the equation .

x = 36 × 7/4

Cancel 36 by 4.

x = 9 × 7

Multiply the 2 numbers

x = 63

`\rule{150pt}{2pt}`

Answer 2

`\text{If the number is x,}\\\\~~~~~\frac 47 \cdot x =36\\\\\implies 4x = 36 * 7\\\\\implies x =\frac{36 * 7}4\\ \\\implies x = 9 * 7\\\\\implies x = 63\\\\\text{Hence, the number is 63.}`
