Let the unknown number be x

solve for x

1,200 ÷ x = 0.012


↦ 1,200 * (1)/(x) =(12)/(1000)


↦ (1200)/(x) = (12)/(1000)


↦ 1,200,000 = 12x


↦ \bold\red{ x = 100,000 }

Answer :-
\bold\red{10^5 }

Solution:

Note that:

  • Given equation: 1,200 ÷ x = 0.012

Simplify the equation and solve for x.

  • 1,200 ÷ x = 0.012
  • => 1,200 × 1/x = 12/1000
  • => 1,200/x = 12/1,000
  • => 1,200,000 = 12x
  • => x = 100,000

Since there are five zeros, the term that completes the equation is 10⁵.
