I think of a number. 8/13 of my number is 72. What is 1/13 of my number
To find what is 1/13 of your number, we first need to solve for the whole number.
Let x be your number.
Given that 8/13 of x is 72:
(8/13) * x = 72
Multiply both sides by 13/8 to solve for x:
x = 72 * (13/8)
x = 117
Now that we know your number is 117, we can find 1/13 of your number:
(1/13) * 117
117 / 13
9
Therefore, 1/13 of your number is 9.
