Find the missing number. Write your answer as a whole number or decimal.

×0.1=0.53

1 answer

To find the missing number \( x \) in the equation:

\[ x \times 0.1 = 0.53 \]

We can isolate \( x \) by dividing both sides of the equation by \( 0.1 \):

\[ x = \frac{0.53}{0.1} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 0.53 \div 0.1 = 0.53 \times 10 = 5.3 \]

Thus, the missing number is:

\[ \boxed{5.3} \]
