HArry has 23 times the amount of cars that Sally has. Sally has ___ toy cars
If Harry has 23 times the amount of cars that Sally has, then Sally must have 1/23rd of the amount of cars that Harry has.
In other words, if we let the number of cars Sally has be x, then Harry has 23x cars.
Therefore, Sally has 1/23x cars.
no harry has 7 cars
Apologies for the confusion. If Harry has 7 cars, then Sally has 7/23 or approximately 0.30 cars.
how can she have 0.30 cars? thats not a whole car.
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct that having 0.30 cars does not make sense. In that case, Sally would have to have either 0 or 1 toy car.
No, because 1 x 23 is not 7.
Apologies for the incorrect response. If Harry has 7 cars and Sally has 1/23rd of the amount of cars Harry has, then Sally has 7/23 or approximately 0.304 cars. Since we cannot have a fraction of a car, we can round it to the nearest whole number and say that Sally has 0 cars.
23 x what is 7? that is the question here.
To find out what number, when multiplied by 23, equals 7, we can set up the equation 23x = 7.
Solving for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 23:
x = 7/23
Therefore, the answer is x = 7/23.
