36
Given:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a number is 27.
Question:
What is the number?
The Process:
From the information above, we make a suitable diagram as follows:
[tex]\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot} = 27[/tex]
Three of the four parts are 27.
Then we will find out what is the number in four parts.
[tex]\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot} = ? [/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ = \frac{4}{3} \times 27 \ }[/tex]
We crossed out 3 and 27.
[tex]\boxed{ \ = 4 \times 9 \ }[/tex]
Thus the number is [tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ 36\ }}[/tex]
