What is 4/6 of 33?

How to calculate 4/6 of 33?

1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 33 × 4 = 132
2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 132/6 = 22
3. Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD (6):
   • 132/6 = 22
   • 6/6 = 1
4. Which gives: 22/1

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 4/6 of 33, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{x}{33}$ (where x represents 4/6 of 33)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $4\times 33=6x$
2. Which gives: $132=6x$
3. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x: $\frac{132}{6}=\frac{6x}{6}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{132}{6}=x$ (or $\frac{22}{1}=x$)

Thus, 4/6 of 33 is equal to 22/1 (or 22 in its decimal form).
