Question

The word sentence of the equation 5 is 1/4 of a number c.

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

lets express the word sentence as mathematical equations:

"1/4 of a number c"  can be written--->  (1/4) x c = c/4

"5 is 1/4 of a number c" can be written ---> 5 = c/4

solving the equation for c

5 = c/4  (multiply both sides by 4 and rearranging)

c = 5 x 4

c = 20
