Question

2 2/3 of what number is 6 1/7 and how?

Answer 1

This can be written as: 2 2/3 x = 6 1/7

To find x, divide both sides by 2 2/3

It might be easier to see if you convert to improper fractions:

2 2/3 = 6/3+2/3 = 8/3

6 1/7 = 42/7+1/7 = 43/7

"what number" = "x" (this is the number you're looking for)

So now we have 8/3x = 43/7

To find x, divide both sides by 8/3

Your answer this way will be an improper fraction, so you'll have to reduce it.
