[tex]\boxed{ \ 5,000 \ is \ \frac{1}{10} \ of \ 50,000 \ }[/tex]
The question can be rewritten to [tex]\boxed{ \ 5,000 \ is \ \frac{1}{10} \ of \ P \ }[/tex]
This case about equations with one variable. We have to solve this calculation to obtain the value of P. Our task is to isolate the variable P alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation until the variable will be equal to a value on the opposing side.
Let's arrange it into an equation, i.e., [tex]\boxed{ \ 5,000 \ = \ \frac{1}{10} \times \ P \ }[/tex]
Turn this equation over so that the position of variable P is on the left side.
[tex]\boxed{ \ P \times \frac{1}{10} = 5,000 \ }[/tex]
Both sides are multiplied by 10 to isolate P on the left side. The fraction are eliminated.
[tex]\boxed{ \ P \times \frac{1}{10} \times 10 = 5,000 \times 10 \ }[/tex]
P = 50,000
Therefore, we have calculated the number that was asked.
Hence [tex]\boxed{ \ 5,000 \ is \ \frac{1}{10} \ of \ 5,0000 \ }[/tex]
Note:
The significant thing to carry out is how to manipulate both sides of the equation with the algebraic properties of equality such as:
And the commutative property of multiplication, i.e., [tex]\boxed{ \ a \times b = b \times a \ }[/tex]
