Answer 1

x/4=160R2      X=642. I hope I helped you out.        160x4=640+2=642.

Answer 2

The number is 642

Explanation:

To solve the problem above, we will simply follow the steps below;

Let x bet the numb er divided by 4 that yield 160 remainder 2.

We will first write the question in a mathematical form and the solve.

"When a certain number is divided by 4, the answer is 160 with a remainder of 2" can be written mathematically as;

`(x)/(4)` = 160 remainder 2

Multiply both-side of the equation by 4

`(x)/(4)` ×4 = 160×4 remainder 2

At the left-hand side of the equation, 4 will cancel-out 4 leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation, 4 will be multiply by 160 only, the remainder will be added to the result of the multiplication. That is;

x = 640 + 2

x = 642.

Therefor the number is 642

To check

`(642)/(4)` = 160 remainder 2
