Fill in the blank:
\(\frac{4}{9}\) divided by ______ equals 12.
Answer (3)
x 9 4 = 12 9 4 = 12 x 9 4 / 1 12 = x 9 4 ∗ 12 1 = x 108 4 = x 27 1 = x
** 4/9 divided by 1/27 equals 12** ; For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: unknown number
We now write the expression that models the problem:
x 9 4 = 12
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
9 4 = 12 x
9 ( 12 ) 4 = x
x = 108 4
x = 27 1
To find the unknown number that 9 4 divided by it equals 12, we set up the equation and find that the unknown number is 27 1 . Therefore, 9 4 divided by 27 1 results in 12.
