Question

Translate the sentence into an equation using n to represent the unknown number. Then solve the equation for n.

Answer 1

Answer:

n/11 = 0.5; n = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient tells us this will be a division problem.

We are told that the unknown number, n, is divided by 11; this gives us n/11.

Since the quotient is 0.5, this gives us the equation n/11 = 0.5.

To solve this, multiply both sides by 11:

n/11*11 = 0.5(11)

n = 5.5

Answer 2

N / 11 = 0.5 <==
n = 0.5 * 11
n = 5.5
