Question

The value of______ divided by 40.01 is close to 1

Answer 1

The value of 39.6099 divided by 40.01 is close to 1.

Solution:

Given data:

The value of______ divided by 40.01 is close to 1.

close to 1 means not exactly one which is 0.99.

Let the unknown be taken as x.

x ÷ 40.01 = close to 1

x ÷ 40.01 = 0.9999

`$(x)/(40.01) =0.99`

Do cross multiplication, we get

`x =0.99*40.01`

x = 39.6099

Hence the value of 39.6099 divided by 40.01 is close to 1.
