Answer 2

1. 60 is 10 times as much as is what value?
2. 60 is 1/10 of what value?

To interpret these given problems we can first analyse these given word problems to a mathematical expression. Hence the given becomes then;
Let N be the unknown value.
1. 10 x N = 60
2. N / 10 = 60

To solve these equations we just have to find the unknown or N.
1. 10N = 60
a. N = 60/10
b. N = 6
c. 10 x 6 = 60

2. N / 10 = 60
a. N = 60 x 10
b. N = 600
c. 600 / 10 = 60
