For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: unknown number.
We now write the equation that models the problem:
\(10x = 0.5
\)
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
\(x = \frac{0.5}{10}
x = 0.05
\)
Completing the sentence we have:
0.5 is 10 times as much as 0.05
Answer:
0.5 is 10 times as much as 0.05
