Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

Let the number =x

The product of a number and 5 = 5x

Four more than the product of a number and 5 = 5x+4

We know that the word 'is' represents the equality sign.

Therefore, the equation is:

[tex]5x+4=7[/tex]

Next, we solve for the number.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x=7-4 \\ 5x=3 \\ \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{3}{5} \\ x=\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The number is 3/5.
