Question

7,000 is ten times as much as what number

Answer 1

So the question is what number do we have to multiply by 10 to get 7000. Lets turn that into an equation: the number we are looking for is x. x needs to be multiplied by 10 and we know that is equal to 7000. So: 10*x=7000. When we divide both sides of the equation by 10 we get: x=7000/10 and that is x=700. So the number we are looking for is 700.
