Question

what could you divide and then multiply by to go from the first number to the second?
first number: 110 second number: 44
answer attempt 1 out of 2
to get to 1, divide 110 by \boxed{}. from 1, multiply by \boxed{} to get to 44.
or, in a single step, multiply 110 by \boxed{} to get to 44.

Explanation:

Step1: Find divisor to get 1

To get from 110 to 1, we divide 110 by itself. So divide 110 by $110$.

Step2: Find multiplier from 1 to 44

From 1, to get 44, we multiply by 44. So multiply 1 by $44$.

Step3: Single - step multiplier

To find the single - step multiplier, we calculate $\frac{44}{110}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5} = 0.4$. So multiply 110 by $\frac{2}{5}$ (or 0.4).

Answer:

To get to 1, divide 110 by $\boldsymbol{110}$. From 1, multiply by $\boldsymbol{44}$ to get to 44. OR, in a single step, multiply 110 by $\boldsymbol{\frac{2}{5}}$ (or $\boldsymbol{0.4}$) to get to 44.
