7/10 times an unknown number can be written as (7/10)x
(7/10)x = 175,104,000
Divide 175,104,000 by 7/10
175,104,000 / 7/10 = 175,104,000 * 10/7
1,751,040,000 / 7 = 250,148,571
How do you explain how to do this math problem to a child?
7/10 of the U.S. population (175,104,000)in 1991 believed saying A to be true. What is the total population? We are trying to find what the whole population total is. They have given us 7/10 or 1755,104,00. How do we get the whole? Thanks.

You can set up a ratio and cross-multiply:
