Question from Suszanne, a teacher:

Multiplying a number by x yields the same result as dividing the number by 0.125. What is the value of x?

Hi Again Suszanne,

You don't know the original number so let's say it is Multiplying the number by x is then n \times x. This is equal to the result of dividing the number by 0.125. Solve for x.
