Question

The number 0.35 is one thousandth of what number?

Answer 1

0.35 is one thousandth of 350

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the number

we know that

The number multiplied by one thousandth must be equal to 0.35

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

`((1)/(1,000))x=0.35`

solve for x

Multiply both sides by 1,000

`1,000((1)/(1,000))x=1,000(0.35)\\\\x=350`

therefore

0.35 is one thousandth of 350
