Given:

A number is multiplied to $5\frac{1}{4}$ to get $3\frac{1}{2}$

To find:

The number which is multiplied to $5\frac{1}{4}$ to produce $3\frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

• Let the number be $num$
• By given statement ,

            $num \times 5\frac{1}{4} = 3\frac{1}{2}$

• Converting the fractions,

            $num \times \frac{21}{4} =\frac{7}{2}$

• On simplifying,

                        $num=\frac{7}{2} \times\frac{4}{21}$

                        $num=\frac{2}{3}$
