Question

How do I find the value of the missing number multiplying fractions and whole numbers?

? • 1/10 = 7.34

Answer 1

Instead of the question mark write it as X (variable or thing you will be finding) multiplied by 1/10 = 7.34 , multiply 1/10 and x which is 1x/10 = 7.34 , ALWAYS remember that to get rid of a denominator you must multiply it by itself so multiply 1x/10 by 10 which will equal 1x DONT forget to multiply 10 on both sides so it will be 1x = 73.4 , divide the one out and you will get x = 73.4 which is your answer.

Answer 2

`\boxed{\bf \boxed{ \bf 7.34} * \cfrac{1}{10} = 7.34}`

Explanation:

Given equation :

`\sf \longrightarrow {?} \: • \: 1/10 = 7.34`

We need to find the value of missing number (?).

Solution :

Let be the value of unknown number is x.

So, ?=x

Note that • = ×

`\sf \longrightarrow \: x * 1/10 = 7.34`

Step 1 : Rewrite this equation :

`\sf \longrightarrow (1)/(10) x = 7.34`

Step 2 : Multiply both sides by 10 :

`\sf \longrightarrow = 10 * (1)/(10) x = 10 * 7.34`

Step 3 : Cancel 10 and 10 which is on the LHS, and multiply 10×7.34 (RHS) :

`\sf \longrightarrow \cancel{10} * \cfrac{1}{ \cancel{10}}x = 73.4`

`\sf \longrightarrow \: 1x = 73.4`

As 1x = x,

`\sf \longrightarrow \: x = 73.4`

Hence, x = 73.4

Then, Put 73.4 instead of x :

`\sf \longrightarrow \: \boxed{73.4 }* 1/10 = 7.34\bf (Answer)`
