59 Divided by What Equals 68?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 59 by to equal 68?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 68Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=68\frac{59}{x} = 68x59=68The 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 59:59=68∗x59 = 68*x59=68∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 68:5968=x\frac{59}{68} = x6859=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=0.868x = 0.868x=0.868Practice 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 7 equals 83?30 divided by what equals 17?What is 18/12 divided by 36?What is 3/4 divided by 11/2?What is 96 divided by 1/14?
