3 thousand divided by what number is equal to 3 tens

1 answer

We can solve the problem by setting up the equation:
3 thousand ÷ x = 3 tens

First, we need to convert the numbers to their respective values:
3 thousand = 3,000
3 tens = 30

The equation becomes:
3,000 ÷ x = 30

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by x:
3,000 = 30x

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 30:
3,000 ÷ 30 = x

This simplifies to:
100 = x

Therefore, the number that 3,000 divided by is equal to 3 tens is 100.
