When asked to find a number one-tenth as large as another number, what operation would you use? what about when asked to find a number 10 times as large?

Apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.

Solution:

Need to determine what operation is required to get one-tenth of a number and 10 times of a number

To get one tenth of a number, divide the number by 10.

For example to get one – tenth of 100, divide it by 10, we get 10 as a result.

To get ten times of a number, multiply the number by 10

For example 10 times of 10 = 10 x 10 = 100

Hence apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
