To solve the statement "60 is equal to the product of a number, n, and 10," we can express it mathematically as:
\[ 60 = 10 \times n \]
Now, let's evaluate each of the provided options:
-
The equation 60 = 10 ÷ n represents this statement.
- False: This equation does not represent the product; it represents a division.
-
The equation 60 = 10 x n represents this statement.
- True: This correctly represents the statement.
-
The equation 60 = 10 + n represents this statement.
- False: This equation represents a sum, not a product.
-
The value of n is 6.
- True: To find n, we solve the equation: \[ n = \frac{60}{10} = 6 \]
-
The value of n is 50.
- False: This is incorrect based on the calculation above.
Based on the evaluation:
- The true statements are:
- The equation 60 = 10 x n represents this statement.
- The value of n is 6.
