Question

the product of 3/4 and a number is 16

Answer 1

Answer:

21 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write this as an expression

3/4 x = 16

Now it is a one step equation

divide 3/4 from its self and 16

3/4 divided by 16 = 21 1/3

x= 21 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

$21\frac{1}{3}$ or 21.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the product of $\frac { 3 } { 4 }$ and a number is $1 6$.

Assuming that number to be $x$, we can write it as:

$\frac { 3 } { 4 } \times x = 1 6$

Taking the denominator to the other side of equation and multiplying it to get:

$3 x = 1 6 \times 4$

$3 x = 6 4$

Isolating the variable to get:

$x = \frac { 6 4 } { 3 }$

$x = 21\frac{1}{3}$ or $x = 21.3$
