Question

Find the missing factor: 5w=45

Answer 1

Well think of it this way: "What multiplied by 5 equals 45?"

The answer to this would be 9.

But here's the algebraic way of solving:
         
       5w = 45
         w = 45/5
         w = 9

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Since 45 divided by 5 is 9, w will equal 9
