One fourth of a number is equal to three times of nineteen. What is one sixth of that number
Set our number as x and turn the words into math:
\(\frac{1}{4}x=3*19\)
\(x=3*19*4\)
\(\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{3*19*4}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}x=38\)
Let's say "the number" is x.
1/4x=3 times 19
1/4x=57
--Multiply 4 to each side--
x=228.
Now find 1/6 of 228.
228 times 1/6 = 38.
So our answer is 38
