Answer: Divide 93.7 by 2.7

Explanation:

Explanation in progress:

Let’s say the the smudged number is x, for simplicity.

So, the equation will look like this:

x · 2.7 = 93.7

To get x, you will have to isolate it, meaning leave it alone and bring all the other numbers to the other side.

Since we used multiplication for x, we need to use the opposite of it, which is division, to get rid of the number next to the x.

The equation will now look like this:


(2.7x)/(2.7)=
(93.7)/(2.7)

Therefore, we will be using division to solve this problem, making the answer to be “divide 93.7 by 2.7”.

Hope this helps! :)
