Question

7 is one tenth of what number

Answer 1

Answer:

70

Explanation:

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

one tenth is interpreted into $\frac{1}{10}$

Now, we know that one tenth of the number is 7, this means that:

$\frac{1}{10}$ * x = 7

Solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10, we get:

$\frac{1}{10}$ * x * 10 = 7 * 10

x = 70

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

$7:0.1=7:\frac{1}{10}=7\times\frac{10}{1}=7\times10=\fbox{70}$

$check:\\0.1\times70=7$
