Question

the product of a number and 3 is 7.5 what is the number write an equation to describe the situation

Answer 1

the letter is n

Answer 2

2/5 of a number is 16 what is the number first write an equation to describe the situation

Answer 3

what does it equal

Answer 4

The number can be found by dividing 7.5 by 3:

Number = 7.5 / 3
Number = 2.5

Thus, the number is 2.5.

The equation to describe the situation is:
3x = 7.5
where x represents the unknown number.

Answer 5

The number can be found by dividing 7.5 by 3:

Number = 7.5 / 3
Number = 2.5

Thus, the number is 2.5.

The equation to describe the situation using n as the variable is:
3n = 7.5

Answer 6

Let the number be represented by the variable x.

The equation to describe the situation is:
(2/5)x = 16

Answer 7

When you solve the equation (2/5)x = 16 for x, you can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2:

x = 16 * (5/2)
x = 40

So, the number is 40.
