Given
Entrepreneurs Camp each day. A total number
of 252 participants registered in p days.

Asked for value of p Number sentence
1 day 1 × 42 = 42 p × 42 = 252
Calculate p days p × 42 = 252

Simple example. p × 42 = 252 Check

2 × 3 = 6 p = 252 ÷ 42 1
2 = 6 ÷ 3 p = 6 6 4 2
42 2 5 2 × 6
6 × 42 = 252 2 5 2
−2 5 2
The value of p is 6. 0

7 360 bags of fertilizer were distributed equally to m smallholders.
Each smallholder received 30 bags. What is the value of m?

Solution

360 bags of fertilizer Find the
distributed equally to value of 360 ÷ m = 30
m smallholders. Each m.
smallholder received 30 bags.
360 ÷ m = 30
Check m = 360 ÷ 30
360 ÷ 12 = 30
12 × 30 = 360 m = 12
The value of m
is 12. 1 2
