Problema Solution
Four times the reciprocal of a number equals 2 times the reciprocal of 8. Find the number
Answer provided by our tutors
Let the number be x
Let the reciprocal of the number be 1/x
Therefore:
4(1/x) = 2(1/8)
4/x = 1/4
x = 16
Checking:
4 (1/16)
=1/4
Both sides are equal, therefore the answer is correct
