Answer:

Explanation:

Product means multiplication (×)

Let

The unknown number = m

product of five and a number = 5 × m

= 5m

product of five and a number is divided by 8, the result is 12

5m / 8 = 12

Cross product

5m = 8 * 12

5m = 96

m = 96/5

= 19.2

m = 19.2

Therefore,

The unknown number = m = 19.2

Check:

5m / 8 = 12

5(19.2) / 8 = 12

96/8 = 12
