if 6 balls is 2/3s of aet how many in the whole set?
2/3 x SET=6
multiply both sides by 3/2
SET= 6*3/2
my answer is 18 what is yours
half of 18
To find the total number of balls in the whole set, we need to determine the equivalent fraction of 6 balls that corresponds to 2/3.
First, we need to set up a proportion. Since we know that 6 balls is 2/3 of the whole set, we can write:
6 balls / x (whole set) = 2/3
To solve for x (the whole set), we can cross-multiply the fractions:
6 * 3 = 2 * x
18 = 2x
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
18 / 2 = x
So, the whole set contains 9 balls.
