b.) 62 is 1/10th of 620

d.) 8.9 is 1/10th of 89

f.) 7.1 is 10 times smaller than 71

How I solved them:

I'm using the variable x for all of these equations, in which x is the number we need to find.

1/10 * x = 62 (Since 1/10th of a certain number, x, is 62)

x/10 = 62 (Simplifying)

Multiply both sides by 10 to cancel out the fraction:

x = 620

The same equation is used for d.

x/10 = 8.9

x = 89

It's a bit different for f, now the equation is:

x/10 = 7.1(Since x is 10 times larger than 7.1)

x = 71

Good luck!
