Hello there! 70 is 1/10 of 700. To find what 70 is 1/10 of, we can divide 70 by 1/10 using the skip flip multiply method:

1. Skip

70 can be skipped since it is the first number.

2. Flip

1/10 will be flipped since it is the next number. The reciprocal of 1/10 is 10/1, so when we flip, we will get 10/1, or 10.

3. Multiply

Now that we have our numbers, we can multiply them.

70 • 10/1 = 700/1

Anything divided by one equals the previous number, meaning that 700 divided by 1 equals 700.

70 is 1/10 of 700. Hope this helps!
