Question

$\_\_\_\times (-23)=-920$. Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.

Answer 1

Given,

$\_\_\_\times (-23)=-920$

Let's assume the blank is $x$.

So,

$x\times (-23)=-920$

Transpose $-23$ to the RHS

it implies,

$x=\frac{-920}{-23}$ ( on dividing $-920$ by $-23$ we get $40$ )

$x=40$.

Therefore , $40\times (-23)=-920$.

Hence, the answer to the given blank is $40$.
