Answer 1

SOLUTION

We want to solve the equation below for x, accurately to 3 decimal places

$4x=4,444$

Dividing both sides by 4, we have

$\begin{gathered} 4x=4,444 \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{4,444}{4} \\ x=\frac{4,444}{4} \\ x=1,111 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 1,111. The first option is correct
