Given the statement:

Your monthly insurance premium of 190 is one fifth of your deductible.

Determine the amount of your insurance deductible.

Solution:

In order to determine the amount of insurance deductible, we simply needed to divide 190 by 1/5. We must take note that in dividing a number with a fraction, we must simply take the reciprocal of that fraction, then multiply it instead of dividing. In our case, the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5, hence we multiply 5 by 190.

= 190 / 1/5

= (190)(5)

= 950

Final answer:

= 950
