Question

If $3$ times a number is equal to $\frac{3}{2}$, what is the number?

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{2}{3}$
• D. $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{2}$

Let the number be ${}^{\prime }{n}^{\prime }$

Given that $3$ times the number ${}^{\prime }{n}^{\prime }$ is equal to $\frac{3}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 3$ $\times$ $n$ $=$ $\frac{3}{2}$

$\Rightarrow n$ $=$ $\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{3}$

$\Rightarrow n$ $=$ $\frac{3}{6}$

$\Rightarrow n$ $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the number is ${}^{\prime }$$\frac{1}{2}$${}^{\prime }$.
