One-fifth equals the quotient of a number and 10. Find the number. The unknown number is square

To find the unknown number, we can set up an equation based on the information given in the problem. We know that one-fifth equals the quotient of a number and 10. Let's denote the unknown number as \( x \).<br /><br />The equation can be written as:<br /><br />\[<br />\frac{x}{10} = \frac{1}{5}<br />\]<br /><br />To solve for \( x \), we need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10:<br /><br />\[<br />x = 10 \times \frac{1}{5}<br />\]<br /><br />Now, calculate the right side:<br /><br />\[<br />x = \frac{10}{5} = 2<br />\]<br /><br />Therefore, the unknown number is \( \boxed{2} \).
