algebra is the solution of equations like the above. Let the "what" be expressed as w. Then the question becomes
w * 3 = 4/3
Now how do we solve this for w. The trick is to operate on both sides of the equation the same function. The caveat is that the function applied must have an inverse. In this case multiply both sides by (1/3).
(1/3)*3*w = (1/3)*(4/3)
Now since 1/3 is multiplicative inverse of 3, the result is 1, and since 1 is the multiplicative identity, the result of the left hand side is w. For the right hand side just do the multiplication
w = 4/9
Thus 4/9 multiplied by 3 equals 4/3.

Let the unknown number be = x.
We need to find : x * 3 = 4/3.
Therefore, cross-multiplying we get x = 4/3 * 1/3 = 4/9.

Let when 3 is multiplied by a unknown number x we get 4/3
Thus, 3 * x = 4/3
So, x = 4/(3*3) (Cross Multiplication)
= 4/9
Hence when 4/9 is multiplied by 3 we get 4/3.

Let the unknown by "x". So:
3x = 4/3
x = 4/3 * 1/3
x = (4*1)/(3*3)
x = 4/9 OR (2/3)^2

n x 3 = 4/3
n = (4/3)/3
n = 4/9
If 4/9 is multiplied by 3 = 12/9 = 4/3 (the Question)
Therefore, n = 4/9 (the Answer)

3x = 4/3, solve for x
x= 4/9

Since you do not know fraction the answer in your language is:
