Not I bought 56 boxes of tiles from the home improvement store, which was 4/7 of the total number of boxes that they had. How many boxes of tiles did the store have?
------------------------------------------------------------------ Given information ------------------------------------------------------------------ Boxes of tiles bought = 56 Fraction of tiles bought = 4/7 of the total
------------------------------------------------------------------ Form the equation and solve ------------------------------------------------------------------ 4/7 of the total = 56 Total tiles = 56 ÷ 4/7 Total tiles = 56 x 7/4 Total tiles = 392/4 Total tiles = 98
------------------------------------------------------------------ Answer: The store had 98 tiles ------------------------------------------------------------------
