To solve the equation [tex]\( 89.6 \div \square = 8.96 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Identify the unknown variable: Here, the unknown is represented by the "square" symbol, which we need to solve for.
2. Rewrite the equation: The equation given is [tex]\[
\frac{89.6}{\square} = 8.96
\][/tex]
3. Isolate the unknown variable: To isolate the "square," multiply both sides of the equation by [tex]\(\square\)[/tex]. This gives us:
[tex]\[
89.6 = 8.96 \times \square
\][/tex]
4. Solve for the unknown variable: To solve for [tex]\(\square\)[/tex], divide both sides of the equation by 8.96:
[tex]\[
\square = \frac{89.6}{8.96}
\][/tex]
5. Calculate the value: Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\square = 10
\][/tex]
So, the missing value in the square is [tex]\(10\)[/tex].
