Question

geetha multiplied a number by 3.2 instead of dividing it and the result she got 10.24. what is the 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.

Answer 2

$\huge \red{hello}$

$\huge{solution}$

$\huge{let}$

The number be 'x'

Acc.to.problem

$consider \: the \: case 1$

When number is multiplied by number 'x'

$= > 3.2 \times x = 10.24$

$= > x \: = 3.2$
$\huge {now}$

$case \: 2$

When number is divided by 3.2

$actual \: number = \: \frac{x}{3.2}$

$actual \: number \: = \frac{3.2}{ 3.2}$

$actual \: number \: = 1$

$\huge{hence}$

$the \: actual \: number \: is \: 1.$
