SOLUTION

What number when multiplied by 4/7 yields 6/7 as the result?

(A) 2/7
(B) 3/3
(C) 3/2
(E) 7/2

$$\frac{4}{7}*x=\frac{6}{7}$$ --> $$x=\frac{6}{7}*\frac{7}{4}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$$.

Let the multiplier be x.

(4/7) * x = 6/7
x = (6*7)/(4*7)
x = 6/4
x = 3/2

Ans is (C)

Let the number be x.

Therefore, 4/7 * x = 6/7

x = 6/7 * 7/4
x = 3/2

The denominator remains same. We got to make 6 from 4. So multiply by 3/2.

you can focus on 4*x=6 and ignore the denominator 7. x=6/4 which 1.5 which is equal to C: 3/2

$$\frac{6}{7}/\frac{4}{7}$$

= $$\frac{6}{7}*\frac{7}{4}$$

= $$\frac{6}{4}$$

= $$\frac{3}{2}$$ , Answer must be (C)
