Answer for screen readers
The missing number is ( 49 ).
Steps to Solve
- Set up the equation
We start with the fraction that equals 0.49: $$ \frac{x}{100} = 0.49 $$ where $x$ is the missing number.
- Multiply both sides by 100
To isolate $x$, we multiply both sides of the equation by 100: $$ x = 0.49 \times 100 $$
- Calculate the value of x
Next, compute the multiplication: $$ x = 49 $$
The missing number is ( 49 ).
More Information
The equation we set up shows the relationship between a fraction and its decimal equivalent. In this case, 0.49 can be expressed as 49 out of 100, which is equivalent to 49%.
Tips
- Not multiplying both sides by 100 properly, which can lead to miscalculating $x$.
- Mistaking the decimal for a different fraction representation such as 0.04 or 0.5.
