Question

The number 0.35 is one thousandth of what number?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.35 is one thousandth of 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number

we know that

The number multiplied by one thousandth must be equal to 0.35

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$(\frac{1}{1,000})x=0.35$

solve for x

Multiply both sides by 1,000

$1,000(\frac{1}{1,000})x=1,000(0.35)\\\\x=350$

therefore

0.35 is one thousandth of 350
