Question

The product of 5 and a number is equal to 35

Answer 1

I would solve this by dividing 35 by 5. 35 divided by 5 equals 7. I hope this is helpful!

Answer 2

HI David,

Is the problem to figure out what the number is? If so, here is one way to think about it...

Product in math means to multiply. So, 5 multiplied by another number (let's call it x) equals 35.

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.

x = 35/5 = 7

Hope that helps!
