Question

45000x______x50x______x______=945000000000

Answer 1

 

Hi Emma,

 

There are several solutions to this problem since you are asked to solve for three blank spaces to make the equation true.

 

45,000 x ______ x 50 x ______ x ______ = 945,000,000,000

 

First, divide both sides by 45000 and 50 to get:

 

_______ x _______ x ________ = 420,000

 

Any three numbers that multiply to equal 420,000 will make the equation true.

 

Let's use 420 as one since we know that 420,000 is divisible by it.

 

420,000 / 420 = 1,000

 

Now, the last two spaces must multiply to equal 1,000.

 

Let's use 100 since we know that 1,000 is divisible by it.

 

1,000 / 100 = 10

 

There you have three solutions to the problem to make the equation true.

 

 
45,000 x 420 x 50 x 100 x 10 = 945,000,000,000
