Question

Write an equation for the sentence "The product of a number n and 7.7 equals 112.42." Solve for the variable.

Answer 1

`7.7n=112.42`

`n=14.6`

Explanation:

The product is the result obtained by multiplying two factors. Then, the sentence ""The product of a number n and 7.7 equals 112.42" can be expressed with the following equation:

`7.7n=112.42`

To solve for the variable "n", you has two apply the Division property of equality and divide both sides of the equation by 7.7

Therefore, the value of "n" is:

`(7.7n)/(7.7)=(112.42)/(7.7)\\\\n=14.6`
