68 Divided by What Equals 56?MethodsSetting up the problem:In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So we could say what number, x can we divide 68 by to equal 56?Solving 68 Divided by What Equals 56Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:68x=56\frac{68}{x} = 56x68=56The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, it can be done in two steps. The first step is to multiply both sides by x to isolate 68:68=56∗x68 = 56*x68=56∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 56:6856=x\frac{68}{56} = x5668=xWhen we simplify the new equation, we can solve for x. In this example, we will round to the nearest three decimal places if that’s needed.x=1.214x = 1.214x=1.214Practice Other Division Problems Like This OneIf this problem was a little difficult or you want to practice your skills on another one, give it a go on any one of these too!What divided by 44 equals 52?75 divided by what equals 94?What is 13/16 divided by 83?What is 5/2 divided by 8/6?What is 74 divided by 15/7?
