Question

Fill in the blanks to complete the area model to solve 6.60 divided by 15 is the same as _ x ? = _ 6.60 = _ hundredths

Answer 1

Answer:

$15 x = 6.60$

$x = 44\ hundredths$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{6.60}{15}$

Required

Complete the model

[ ] x = 6.60

x = _ hundredths

$\frac{6.60}{15}$

Equate to x

$x = \frac{6.60}{15}$

Multiply both sides by 15

$15 * x = \frac{6.60}{15} * 15$

$15 * x = 6.60$

$15 x = 6.60$

So, we have:

[ ] x = 6.60 =====> $15 x = 6.60$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{6.60}{15}$

$x = 0.44$

This implies that:

$x = 44\ hundredths$

Hence:

x = _ hundredths =====> $x = 44\ hundredths$
