If 3/8 of a number is 54, then what is the number? pls solve it in detail.?

54 ÷ 3/8
= 54 x 8/3
= 18 x 8
= 144

Let the number be x,
3/8*x=54
x=(54*8)/3
=144

You will first have to find 1/8 of the number=
54 divided by 3 = 18
once you have 1/8, you just multiply by 8 to get the answer... 144!

So 3/8 multiplied by a number is 54. This mystery number for now will be denoted by x.

3/8*x = 54
multiply both sides by 8 so you get:
3*x = 432
now divide both sides by 3 and you get:
x = 144

The number which 3/8 of is 54 is 144

Check 3/8 x 144=3x144/8=3 x 18 =54

A number's been chopped up into 8 equal bits.

Three of those equal bits together make 54.

First we need to work out what one of those bits is worh, so we divide the 54 by 3, which gives 18.

So each of the eight bits of the number we started with are worth 18. So the whole number is 8 lots of 18 - or 18x8 = 144

How's that? Not a single x to be seen anywhere! :-)

If 3/8 of the number x is 54

(3/8)x = 54
(1/8)x = 54/3
x = (54/3) 8
x = 144

if 3/8 of x=54, then 1/8 of x = 18 (54/3=18)

if 1/8 of x = 18, then 8/8 of x = 144 (18*8=144)

So 3/8 multiplied by a number is 54. This mystery number for now will be denoted by x.

3/8*x = 54
multiply both sides by 8 so you get:
3*x = 432
now divide both sides by 3 and you get:
x = 144

The number which 3/8 of is 54 is 144

if 3 is 54, one is 54 divided by three which is 18. if 1/8 is 18 , 8/8 is 144

If the number is x the (3/8)x =54 so x = 54(8/3) =144.
