Question 1107814
I believe you have a typo (or a misread character).
The {{{9}}} in "of 9 number" does not make sense.
 
If {{{1/8}}} of {{{a}}} number is {{{6}}} ,
{{{n}}}= the number
{{{(1/8)*n=6}}}
Multiplying both sides of the equal sign times {{{8}}} , we get
{{{8*(1/8)*n=8*6}}}
{{{1*n=48}}}
{{{n=48}}} .
