Two numbers have a product of 5 If one of the number is 2. Find the other number.

1. What is asked in the problem?

Find the other number.

2. What are the given facts?

5 is the product, and one of the factors is 2

3. What is the number sentence?

$\large n \times 2 = 5$

4. What is the answer?

$\large 2.5$

Solve:

To find the value of n, transpose the number 2 to the right and invert the symbol.

$\large n \blue{\times 2} = 5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \large n = 5 \blue{ \div 2}$

Since 5 can't be divided into 2, move the decimal to the right once if it is the multiple of 2, then divide. After, bring back the decimal to where it belong.

$\large 5 \blue.0 \green{ = = = >} 50 \blue.0 \\ \\ \large n = \blue{50 \div 2} \\ \large n = \blue {25} \\ \\ \large 25 \blue.0 \green{ = = = > }2 \blue.5 \\ \\ \large n = \blue {2.5}$
