Question

3/8 of a number equals 27. translate and solve algebraic solution only

Answer 1

Let's call the number
`n`. Using this, we can say:

`(3)/(8) n = 27`

Now, let's solve:

`(3)/(8) n = 27`

• Set up

`n = 27 \cdot (8)/(3) = \boxed{72}`

• Multiply both sides by
  `(8)/(3)` to isolate
  `n` and simplify

We have found that the number is 72.

Answer 2

(3/8) x = 27

x = 27 / (3/8)

x = 72
