Question

If a number is divided by eleven, the solution is two-fifths. What is the number

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x }{ 11 } = \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\]sOLVE FOR \(x\)

Answer 2

4.4 or 4 2/5.

You could turn 2/5 into a decimal, multiply 11 by that number and then convert the decimal back into a fraction or keep it as a decimal. It depends on what you need.
Or you could simply multiply 11 by the fraction. It doesn't matter which way you do it, though I find the decimal way is a little easier.
