Question 86

What number divided by 520 gives the same quotient as 85 divided by 0.625?

Answer 1

Let the number be x
According to the question, $\frac{x}{520}=\frac{85}{0.625}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{85\times 520\times 1000}{625}=\frac{44200000}{625}$ [by cross-multiplication]
$\Rightarrow x=70720$
Hence, the number is 70720.
