Question

Write and solve a proportion to answer the question.3/4 is 60% of what number? E-

Answer 1

Let the number be 'x'.

Now, the statement implies that 3/4 is 60% of the number 'x'.

This can be mathematically expressed as,

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{60}{100}\times x$

Simplify the expression to obtain the value of 'x' as,

$x=\frac{3\times100}{4\times60}=\frac{5}{4}=1.25$

Thus, 3/4 is 60% of the number 1.25
