5000 is 1/10 of what

The correct answer is 50,000.

Explanation:

We can set up the equation 5000=1/10x to represent this situation.

To solve, we will divide both sides by 1/10:

5000 : (1/10) = (1/10x) : (1/10)

5000 : (1/10) = x.

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply; this gives us

5000 * (10/1) = x

50000 = x.
