Answer: The number is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
We will set up an equation where 4/5 is being multiply by the number to get 32. we will represent that number by x
4/5 * x = 32 solve for x
4/5x = 32
0.8x = 32
x = 40
Answer:
40
Since you know 32 is 4/5 of a number divide 32 by 4 to get 1/5
32/4=8, so now you have 1/5 of the number and 5*1/5=1 so just multiply 1/5, in this case 8, by 5 to get the whole number.
8*5=40, this is how you know the whole number is 40.
