Solution Steps

To convert the given sentence into an equation, identify the mathematical operations and variables described. The sentence "the product of 2 and \( q \) equals 199" translates to the equation \( 2q = 199 \).

Step 1: Translate the Sentence to an Equation

The sentence "the product of 2 and \( q \) equals 199" can be expressed mathematically as: \[ 2q = 199 \]

Step 2: Solve for \( q \)

To isolate \( q \), divide both sides of the equation by 2: \[ q = \frac{199}{2} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Value of \( q \)

Perform the division: \[ q = 99.5 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{q = 99.5}\)
