88.8888888889

The equation to any of these sorts of questions is the larger number (800) divided by the smaller number (9).

You can check your answer by multiplying the quotient by the smaller number (9). If you get the larger number (800), you were correct, anything else, the equation was done wrong.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!

Answer:

9 times 800/9 equals 800. (Answer is 800/9)

Explanation:

Key skills needed: Equation, Division, Fractions

1) Let's say the number is the variable "x".

2) So this means 9 times x = 800

9x = 800

3) Divide both sides by 9 and you will get x equal to 800/9. If you want this in mixed number form, it is --> 88 8/9

Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D
