5000 is \(\frac{1}{10}\) of what number?

Asked by tashamorant

Answer (3)

The correct answer is 50,000.
Explanation : We can set up the equation 5000=1/10x to represent this situation.
To solve, we will divide both sides by 1/10: 5000 ÷ (1/10) = (1/10x) ÷ (1/10) 5000 ÷ (1/10) = x.
To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply; this gives us 5000*(10/1) = x 50000 = x.

To find the number that 5000 is \frac{1}{10} of, we set up the equation 5000 = \frac{1}{10} \times P. By multiplying both sides by 10, we find that P equals 50000. Thus, 5000 is \frac{1}{10} of 50000.
