if nine counters are three -quarters of a set, how many counters are in one set
3/4 x = 9
x = 9 * 4/3
...
To find out how many counters are in one set, you need to determine the total number of counters represented by nine counters, which is three-quarters of a set.
First, let's set up the equation:
9 counters = 3/4 set
To find the total number of counters in one set, we can use algebraic manipulation. We'll multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3 to isolate the set on one side. Like this:
(9 counters) * (4/3) = (3/4 set) * (4/3)
On the left side, the counters cancel out, leaving us with:
(9 counters) * (4/3) = 36/3 = 12
So, one set consists of 12 counters.
