Question

If 1/4 of x is 16, what is 3/4 of x! Justify your answer in more than one way

Answer 1

Find x first;
1/4=.25
.25*x=16
Divide each side by .25
x=64
And then find 3/4 of x.
3/4=.75
.75*64
=48
You can also check your answer by putting x as 64 and then finding the answer. Hope this helps. 

Answer 2

A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. The solution of the equation will be 48.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

The value of the solution to be found;

3/4 of x = ?

The given equation in the problem is;

1/4 of x is 16;

$\rm \frac{1}{4}\times x=16$

The value of x will be

$\rm x=16\times 4 \\\\ x=64$

On putting the value of x in the given second condition we find the answer;

$\frac{3}{4} \times x = ? \\\\ \frac{3}{4} \times 64=48$

Hence the solution of the equation will be 48.
