Question

Using the information that

5.2 x 67 = 348.4
write down the value of

c) 348.4 ÷ 52​

Answer 1

Answer: 6.7

Explanation:

We know that:

5.2*67 = 348.4

And we want to find the value of:

348.4/52 = x

So, let's return to the original equation.

5.2*67 = 348.4

Let's try to "construct" the quotient 348.4/52

The first step is to divide both sides by 5.2, then we get:

(5.2*67)/5.2 = 348.4/5.2

67 = 348.4/5.2

Now we have 5.2 in the denominator instead of 52, then we can divide both sides by 10 to get:

67/10 = ( 348.4/5.2)/10 = 348.4/(5.2*10) = 348.8/52

6.7 = 348.8/52

Then the solution to the quotient:

348.4/52 is 6.7​
