How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 6/9 of 95, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{6}{9}=\frac{x}{95}$ (where x represents 6/9 of 95)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $6\times 95=9x$
2. Which gives: $570=9x$
3. Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x: $\frac{570}{9}=\frac{9x}{9}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{570}{9}=x$ (or $\frac{190}{3}=x$)

Thus, 6/9 of 95 is equal to 190/3 (or 63.333333333333 in its decimal form).
