    The correct multiplication would have been 8 by 200 to have 1600

    The correct quotient would have been 200 by 200

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Multiplication scenario

    He got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200.

    He mixed up the position of 8 and 25 in the equation

    (8) (x) = (25) (200)

    If he got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200 and he mixed the position of 8 and 25 in the equation (8) (x) = (25) (200)

    Then, the correct equation would be

    (25) (x) = (8) (200)

    25x=1600

    X=1600/25

    X=64

    Division scenario

    He mixed up the positions of 8 and 200 in the equation (8) (x) = (25) (200).

    He got the wrong quotient when he divided 5,000 by 8.

    If he mixed up the position of 8 and 200 in the equation (8) (x) = (25) (200)

    Then, the correct position of 8 and 200 will be

    (200) (x) = (25) (8)

    200x=200

    X=200/200

    X=1
