Question

Fill in the blanks to complete the area model to solve 6.60 divided by 15 is the same as _ x ? = _ 6.60 = _ hundredths

Answer 1

`15 x = 6.60`

`x = 44\ hundredths`

Explanation:

Given

`(6.60)/(15)`

Required

Complete the model

[ ] x = 6.60

x = _ hundredths

`(6.60)/(15)`

Equate to x

`x = (6.60)/(15)`

Multiply both sides by 15

`15 * x = (6.60)/(15) * 15`

`15 * x = 6.60`

`15 x = 6.60`

So, we have:

[ ] x = 6.60 =====>
`15 x = 6.60`

Recall that:

`x = (6.60)/(15)`

`x = 0.44`

This implies that:

`x = 44\ hundredths`

Hence:

x = _ hundredths =====>
`x = 44\ hundredths`
