Question

Find the unknown number in the equation 30,672 ÷ q = 852 Explain how you found the unknown.

Answer 1

The value of q is 36.

Explanation:

From the given equation,

`(30672)/(q)` = 852

This also implies that,

`(30672)/(q)` =
`(852)/(1)`

Cross multiply to have;

q × 852 = 30672 ×1

852q = 30672

Since the value of q is required, divide both sides by 852;

q =
`(30672)/(852)`

= 36

Thus, the value of q is 36.

Answer 2

Answer: The value of unknown number
`q` is equals to
`36`.

Explanation:

Since, given expression
`(30,672)/(q) =852` , where q is an unknown number.

⇒
`(30,672)/(852)= q`

⇒
`36=q` ( after solving the left side of expression)

⇒
`q=36`

Thus, the value of unknown number
`q` is
`36`.
