_(4.8)=6(5)-(_)

Question

can you find the missing numbers then simplify?

Answer 1

We are asked to fill in the blanks for the expression _(4.8) = 6(5) - (_)

 

It is clear that since 6(5) is 30, then our expression will be _(4.8) = 30 - (_)

 

Any multiple of 4.8 must end with zero, so, its coefficient will be at least 5.

 

5(4.8) = 30 - (_)

 

24 =  30 - (_)

 

so, the value in the parenthesis will be 6
