This exercise explores how to solve numeric problems involving division. Specifically, we're examining scenarios where a number divided by 28 equals 88. To translate this into a mathematical statement, we'd typically denote the unknown number as 'x'. Therefore, our problem becomes: when 'x', divided by 28, gives a result of 88.
\( \frac{x}{28} = 88 \)
The goal here is to isolate x, which can be achieved by multiplying both sides of the equation by 28:
\( x = 88 * 28 \)
After performing the multiplication:
\( x = 2464 \)
Proving this result involves substituting 2464 back into the original equation:
\( \frac{2464}{28} = 88 \)
If 2464 divided by 28 equals 88, then we've correctly solved the problem. Practice this method with problems like:
