PLEASE HELP MEEEE

Four-fifths of a number equals 16. Find the number.


The number is 20

The number is 31

The number is 17

Answer 1

The number is 20

Explanation:

Four-fifths = 4/5

Let the number = x

4/5 of x = 16

4/5 * x = 16

4/5x = 16

Divide both sides by 4/5

x = 16 ÷ 4/5

= 16 × 5/4

= 80 /4

= 20

Therefore, the number is 20
