1. Problem Description

The problem is to find the missing number in the equation: 2.5÷=0.0252.5 \div \square = 0.025. We need to determine the value that, when 2.52.5 is divided by it, results in 0.0250.025.

2. Solution Steps

Let the missing number be xx. The equation is:
2.5÷x=0.0252.5 \div x = 0.025
We can rewrite the division as a fraction:
2.5x=0.025\frac{2.5}{x} = 0.025
To solve for xx, we can multiply both sides of the equation by xx:
2.5=0.025x2.5 = 0.025x
Now, divide both sides by 0.0250.025:
x=2.50.025x = \frac{2.5}{0.025}
To simplify the fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 to remove the decimal:
x=2.5×10000.025×1000=250025x = \frac{2.5 \times 1000}{0.025 \times 1000} = \frac{2500}{25}
Now, divide 2500 by 25:
x=100x = 100

3. Final Answer

The missing number is 100.
