68 Divided by What Equals 55?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 55?Solving 68 Divided by What Equals 55Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:68x=55\frac{68}{x} = 55x68=55The 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=55∗x68 = 55*x68=55∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 55:6855=x\frac{68}{55} = x5568=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=1.236x = 1.236x=1.236Practice 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 3 equals 84?57 divided by what equals 90?What is 15/5 divided by 89?What is 6/8 divided by 17/10?What is 65 divided by 1/13?
