Answer 1

n = 100 (or) 10²

Solution:

Given equation is 1.6 ÷ n = 0.016.

Part A:

To simplify the equation and find the value of n.

1.6 ÷ n = 0.016

`$(1.6)/(n)=0.016`

Do cross multiplication.

`1.6=0.016n`

Divide by 0.016 on both sides of the equation.

`$(16)/(0.016)=n`

To remove decimal point multiply and divide by 1000 on left side.

`$(1.6*1000)/(0.016*1000)=n`

`$(1600)/(16)=n`

`100=n`

Switch the sides.

n = 100

n = 10²

Hence the value of n is 10².

Part B:

`$1.6/10^2=(1.6)/(100)`

= 0.016

Hence the answer is true.
