Question

____ divided by 5 = -13

Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, we'll need to manipulate or work with multiplication and division rules

let the unknown number be represented by x

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(5)=-13 \\ \text{cross multiply both sides to find x} \\ x*1=5*-13 \\ x=-65 \end{gathered}`

note, i cross multiplied with 1

whenever you have a whole number i.e an integer, it is assumed mathematically to be divided by 1 e.g 5 = 5/1
