The wind blew away 33 of your muffins. That was 3/4 of all of them! With how many did you start

Sagot :

Answer:

44

because each that's ¼ has 11 so 11x4 =44

You can translate this into the statement “33 is 3/4 of what number?”
Translating that into math, you have:
     33 is 3/4 of what number?
     33 =  3/4 •   x

To solve 33 = 3/4•x, you divide both sides by 3/4

33÷ (3/4) = x

To divide by a fraction means you multiply by it’s reciprocal, 4/3.

33 ÷ (3/4) = 33 • 4/3

33 • 4/3 = 44

You started with 44 muffins.
