1/4=.25
.25x=16
Divide each side by .25
x=64
And then find 3/4 of x.
3/4=.75
.7564

You can also check your answer by putting x as 64 and then finding the answer. Hope this helps.
A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. The solution of the equation will be 48.
A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.
The value of the solution to be found;
3/4 of x = ?
The given equation in the problem is;
1/4 of x is 16;
\(\rm \frac{1}{4}\times x=16\)
The value of x will be
\(\rm x=16\times 4 \\\\ x=64\)
On putting the value of x in the given second condition we find the answer;
\(\frac{3}{4} \times x = ? \\\\ \frac{3}{4} \times 64=48\)
Hence the solution of the equation will be 48.
