To find out what number 20000 is 1/10 of, we can set up a simple equation. Let’s call the unknown number ‘x’. According to the question, we have:
1/10 of x = 20000
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 10:
x = 20000 * 10
Calculating that gives:
x = 200000
Therefore, 20000 is 1/10 of 200000. This means that if you take 200000 and divide it by 10, you will get 20000.
