Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{128}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use basic algebraic manipulation to find our unknown number.
Let's call this unknown number [tex]n[/tex].
- The quotient of a number divided by 4. Our number is [tex]n[/tex], and dividing it by four means that we're doing [tex]\frac{n}{4}[/tex].
- is 32. Our quotient equals 32, thus, [tex]\frac{n}{4}=32[/tex]
Now we can solve for [tex]n[/tex].
- Multiply both sides by 4. This will help us eliminate the 4 in [tex]\frac{n}{4}[/tex].
- [tex]4 \cdot \frac{n}{4} = 32 \cdot 4[/tex]
- We have to multiply 32 by 4 too since whatever we do to one side must be done to the other.
- Multiplying this out, we get [tex]n = 128[/tex]
Thus, our unknown number is 128.
Hope this helped!
