So to find a tenth of a number, we divide the number by ten
Since we want to do the opposite, we multiply the number by ten
Therefore, .01*10 is .1
So, .01 is a tenth of .1
.1 is the answer
Hope this helped!! :D
Answer:
The number of comic books did they have in all = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of comics with Susan : Abe = 3 : 5
Let us assume the common factor on this ratio = m
So, the number of comics Susan has = 3 m
The number of comics Abe has = 5 m
Also, given: Abe had 14 more comic books than Susan
So, the number of comics Abe had = 14 + 3 m
⇒ 5 m = 3 m + 14
or, 2 m = 14, or m = 7
So, the number of books Susan has = 3 m = 3 x 7 = 21 books
The number of books Abe has = 5 m = 5 x 7 = 35
So, the book they have in all = 21 + 35 = 56
You would divide 250 by 5 and get the result of 50.
50*5= 250
