[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] times [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] equals 1
Solution:
Given expression is at what times [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] equals the whole.
Whole means 1 in a fraction.
Let us take the number of times be x.
[tex]x\times\frac{3}{8} =1[/tex]
Multiply by [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] on both sides of the equation.
[tex]x\times\frac{3}{8}\times\frac{8}{3} =1\times\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x\times\frac{24}{24} =1\times\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x\times\frac{24}{24} =\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x\times1 =\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x =\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
Hence the fraction [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] times [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] equals 1.
