Question

1/7 divided by blank equals 14

Answer 1

1/98

Explanation:

Step 1: Translate statement into equation.

• 
  `(1)/(7)/x = 14`
• 
  `(1)/(7x)=14`

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 7x.

• 
  `(1)/(7x) * 7x = 14 * 7x`
• 
  `1 = 98x`

Step 3: Divide both sides by 98.

• 
  `(1)/(98) =(98x)/(98)`
• 
  `x = (1)/(98)`

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

• 
  `(1)/(7)/(1)/(98)`
• 
  `(1)/(7)*98`
• 
  `14`

Therefore, the answer is 1/98.
