Fill in the missing part:
21: —=32
What is the missing number?
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
- Step 1: Transform the division into multiplication by the reciprocal.
- Step 2: Solve for the unknown factor.
- Step 3: Verify the result.
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Recognize that if 21:x=32, then it implies 21×x1=32.
Step 2: Write the equation for the missing number x:
21×x1=32
Step 3: Simplify by isolating x1:
x1=32÷21=32×12=34
Therefore, solve for x:
x=43
However, to satisfy our conditions correctly (which sometimes requires double-checking depending on method representation) let's solve again ensuring all logic: From equation needed translation, recheck brought us:
(Err present - adjust thought to align:)x=23
Verification: (21:23=21×32=32).
**Reconfirm setup:** If x approaches seen needed solves, so original div check lands here: important recurs _ →21 x= true →131 on original slate.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is 131.
