Let's solve the problem step-by-step.
1. Understand the Problem:
We need to determine what number, when divided by 10, results in 0.002. In other words, 0.002 is [tex]\(\frac{1}{10}\)[/tex] of this unknown number.
2. Set Up the Equation:
Let [tex]\( x \)[/tex] be the unknown number. According to the problem, [tex]\( \frac{x}{10} = 0.002 \)[/tex].
3. Solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
To isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we need to eliminate the fraction. We do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10:
[tex]\[
x = 0.002 \times 10
\][/tex]
4. Perform the Multiplication:
Now, multiply 0.002 by 10:
[tex]\[
x = 0.002 \times 10 = 0.02
\][/tex]
Therefore, the number is 0.02. So, 0.002 is [tex]\(\frac{1}{10}\)[/tex] of 0.02.
