answer 4, thank you
Right.
You're welcome.
To find the value of "#", we can start by simplifying the equation:
0.0357 x # = 357 x 2#
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.0357 to isolate "#":
# = (357 x 2#) / 0.0357
Now, we can solve for "#". To do this, we can consider the answer options provided and substitute them one by one until we find the value that satisfies the equation.
Let's start with option 1:
# = (357 x 2#) / 0.0357
# = (357 x 200) / 0.0357
# ≈ 200 x 10,000 ≈ 2,000,000
Since 2,000,000 is not equal to 357 x 2# (which is 714), option 1 is incorrect.
Now, let's try option 2:
# = (357 x 2#) / 0.0357
# = (357 x 200,000) / 0.0357
# ≈ 357 x 5,000,000 ≈ 1,785,000,000
Again, 1,785,000,000 is not equal to 357 x 2# (which is 714), so option 2 is incorrect as well.
Now, let's try option 3:
# = (357 x 2#) / 0.0357
# = (357 x 2,000) / 0.0357
# ≈ 357 x 55,865 ≈ 19,932,705
Once again, 19,932,705 is not equal to 357 x 2# (which is 714), so option 3 is incorrect.
Next, let's try option 4:
# = (357 x 2#) / 0.0357
# = (357 x 20,000) / 0.0357
# ≈ 357 x 559,865 ≈ 199,999,805
Again, 199,999,805 is not equal to 357 x 2# (which is 714), so option 4 is also incorrect.
Finally, let's try option 5:
# = (357 x 2#) / 0.0357
# = (357 x 7,140) / 0.0357
# ≈ 357 x 200,000 ≈ 714
Finally, we have found the correct value of "#". When # is equal to 7,140, the equation holds true:
0.0357 x 7,140 = 357 x 2 x 7,140
Approximately, 255.198 = 2 x 7,140 = 14,280
Therefore, the correct answer is option 5: 7,140.
