Answer:

  • B) 4/9

---------------------------

Convert the statement into equation, considering the number as x, and solve:

  • 1/6 = 1/2×3/4×x               Equation  
  • 1/6 = 3/8×x                      Simplify the RHS
  • x = 1/6 ÷ 3/8                    Divide both sides by 3/8
  • x = 1/6 × 8/3                    Change division to multiplication
  • x = 4/9                             Answer

Correct choice is B.
