Hello!

Let the unknown number equal X. We are given that the product of X and 3.4 is equal to 176.8. The term "product" implies the use of multiplication. With this knowledge, we can represent the problem using the following formula:

3.4x = 176.8

Now divide both sides of the equation by 3.4:

x = 52

We have now proven that Jen is thinking of the number 52.

I hope this helps!

Let the number be x.

The product of the number and 3.4 is 176.8, so we can write the equation as:

3.4x = 176.8

Dividing by 3.4 on both sides, we get:

x = 52

Thus, Jen is thinking of 52 as his number
