Question

[ ] ÷258=45 what is the missing value

Answer 1

We will investigate the missing value under division operation.

The missing value will be represented as a variable ( x ). We can then write down the division of two numbers as follows:

`(x)/(258)\text{ = 45}`

We are to solve the above equation by manipulating the entire equation. We will try to isolate the vairable ( x ) on the left hand side of the " = " sign! To do that we will multiply the entire equation by the denominator value as follows:

`258\cdot(x)/(258)\text{ = 45}\cdot258`

Simplify the left hand side of the " = " sign as follows:

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ = 45}\cdot258 \\ x\text{ = 11,610} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the solution to the missing value is:

`11,610\ldots\text{ Answer}`
