Question

if 3/4 of a number is 9 what is the number? The answers already there tells me 12...as x is equal to 12 but how do I find how x is equal to 12?

Answer 1

Hey!!!!

Let the number be x

So, According to the question

=> 3/4x = 9

=> 3x = 36

Cancelling 36 by 3 , we will get 12

=> x = 12

Hope your confusion is cleared

Answer 2

Let the Number be x,

=> 3/4 of x =9

=> 3/4 ×x =9

=> 3x/4 =9

=> 3x =9×4

=> 3x = 36

=> x =36/3

=> x = 12


Now,

Number is 12



I hope this will help you
