The number is 275
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a simple equation of one variable
∵ Four fiftieths means [tex]\frac{4}{50}[/tex]
- Assume that the number is x
∴ Four fiftieths of a number = [tex]\frac{4}{50}[/tex] x
- Equate it by 22
∴ Four fiftieths of a number equals 22 means [tex]\frac{4}{50}[/tex] x = 22
Now let us solve the equation
∵ [tex]\frac{4}{50}[/tex] x = 22
- Multiply both sides by 50
∴ 4 x = 1100
- Divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 275
∴ The number is 275
To check the answer multiply four fiftieths by the number the answer
must be 22
∵ [tex]\frac{4}{50}[/tex] × 275 = [tex]\frac{1100}{50}[/tex]
- Divide up and down by 50
∴ [tex]\frac{1100}{50}[/tex] = 22 ⇒ same answer
The number is 275
