Let the unknown person be called x:

6x/4 = 72

Multiply both sides by 4 to eradicate the fraction:

6x = 288

Divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x:

x = 48

Why you do not need a common denominator to multiply?

When you multiply a fraction, you are dividing by the denominator. You do not need to change anything to divide. For example: 12 x 5/6 This is saying, take 12 and multiply by 5 and divide it by 6. and in 3/4 x 5/6 You are saying, multiply 3 and 5 then divide by 4 and 6. When you divide by a 4 and by a 6 are are actually dividing by the product of 4 and 6. So, all you have to do is multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators and do any reducing if needed. So, 3/4 x 5/6 = 15/24 = 5/8

How do you divide multiply add subtract fractions?

for subtracting fractions you must find a common denominator. For example 4/6 -1/3 then you must either multiply 1/3 by 2 or divide 4/6 by 2. Id you choose to multiply then you get 4/6 - 2/6 and then you just subtract 4 and 2 and leave the common denominator out of this. the answer to this question is 2, them you add the denominator to make it 2/6. Then you should put it into lowest terms. In this equation you can divide by 2 to get 1/3. To multiply you must cross reduce then multiply the denominator and the numerator. And then you will get you answer
