Question

20,000 is 1/10 of what?

Answer 1

I was taught a formula for this in seven grade.


I set it up like this


`20,000/n = 1/10`


you use the cross multiply rule.

so..


20,000 × 10 = 200,000


n × 1 = 1n


now your left with


200,000/1n


200,000 divided by 1 is 200,000


so n = 200,000
