Answer:

70


Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

one tenth is interpreted into
(1)/(10)


Now, we know that one tenth of the number is 7, this means that:


(1)/(10) * x = 7


Solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10, we get:


(1)/(10) * x * 10 = 7 * 10

x = 70


Hope this helps :)
