Question

5/8 of 24 is equal to 15/7 of what number?

Answer 1

5/8 of 24 is 15.
Let the number we want to find out be 'x'.
So we want to know the 15/7 of x which is equal to 5/8 of 24 which is 15.
So, writing in mathematical term
15=x*15/7
Simplifying the above equation
x=15*7/15
x=7.
Therefore 5/8 of 24 is equal to 15/7 of 7.

Answer 2

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the required number be x.
• Now according to question, $\frac{5}{8}*24$

                                                      =5*3

                                                      =15

• So, $\frac{15}{7}*x=15$

           ⇒ x=$15*\frac{7}{15}$

          ∴ x=7

• Hence,the required number is 7.
