Sure! Let's translate the given question into a mathematical equation.

The question is: 6.4 is 60% of what number?

Let's represent this unknown number by [tex]\( x \)[/tex].

The phrase "60% of what number" translates to [tex]\( 0.6 \times x \)[/tex], since 60% can be written as 0.60 in decimal form.

So, the equation for this problem is:
[tex]\[ 0.6x = 6.4 \][/tex]
