A number is divided by 9. When the quotient is multiplied by 6,
the product is 108. What is the
number?
Explain how you found the
answer.

The number is 162.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let the number =n

So, we can set up an equation.

(n/9) is a number divided by 9.

Its "quotient" (the answer to that expression) is multiplied by 6.

6(n/9)

The product (answer) is 108.

6(n/9) = 108.

Then we can solve.

6(n/9) = 108

(n/9) = 18

n = 162

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2
