Question

Geeta multiplied a number by 3.2 instead of dividing it and the result she got is 10.24 what is correct answer

Answer 1

Let the correct number was x ,


According to the question, Geeta multiplied x by 3.2 instead of dividing it and after multiplying she got 10.24 , it means that the product ( multiplication ) of x and 3.2 is 10.14 .


Product of x and 3.2 = 10.14

x × 3.2 = 10.14

$x = \dfrac{10.24}{3.2}$


x = 3.2





Therefore, the correct number which was to be divided by 3.2 is 3.2


Hence,


correct answer is { 3.2 divided by 3.2 }


correct answer is { 3.2 / 3.2 }

correct answer is 1.
