Question

Find the number, if...

3/8 of it is 24.

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

To get the answer, just perform the reverse operation of what the question said. In this case, you would want to multiply by the reciprocal, which is (8/3). So the answer is found by just solving 24*(8/3).

Answer 2

The number is 64

Explanation:

Let the number be x

3/8 of x = 24

x = 24 ÷ (3/8)

`x=24*(8)/(3)\\\\x=8*8`

x = 64
