Answer:
The number is 24.
Explanation:
Since 2/3 of 3/4 of a number (n) is 12, we can find the number using the following equation:
(2/3(3/4n) = 12) / (2/3)
(2/3(3/4n = 12) * (3/2)
(3/4n = 18) / (3/4)
(3/4n = 18) * (4/3)
n = 24
Thus, the number is 24.
Checking the validity of the answer:
Now we can check the validity of the answer:
3/4(24) = 18
2/3(18) = 12
Thus, our answer is correct.
