For what value of a will 8×10000 be 40 times larger than a×1000?

1 answer

To find the value of a that makes 8×10000 be 40 times larger than a×1000, we can set up the following equation:
8×10000 = 40(a×1000)

Simplifying the equation, we have:
80000 = 40000a

Dividing both sides of the equation by 40000, we get:
a = 2

Therefore, the value of a that makes 8×10000 be 40 times larger than a×1000 is 2.
