Question

Geetha multiplied a number by 3.2 instead of dividing it and the result she got is 10.24. What is the correct answer?

Answer 1

Let the number be A
the correct answer =A×3.2
the Geeta answer = A/3.2
she got, 10.24
so, A/3.2=10.24
A=10.24×3.2
now,
the correct answer =10.24×3.2/3.2
so, correct answer is 10.24

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question, here is your answer:

We will let x be the number

Solve x:

When the number is multiplied 3.2, she got 10.24

3.2 x = 10.24

x = 10.24 ÷ 3.2

x = 3.2

In order to find the answer we will divide the number by 3.2

x ÷ 3.2 = 3.2 ÷ 3.2

x ÷ 3.2 = 1
