Question 1006149

Four fifths of a number is 24, what is five sixths of the number
<pre>With N being {{{5/6}}} of the number, you can set this up as a proportion, as follows: {{{(4/5)/(5/6) = 24/N}}}
{{{(4/5) * N = (5/6) * 24}}} ------- Cross-multiplying
{{{4N/5 = 5 * 24/6}}}
{{{4N/5 = 20}}}
4N = 100 ------- Cross-multiplying
N, or {{{5/6}}} of the number = {{{100/4}}}, or {{{highlight_green(25)}}}
