96 Divided by What Equals 48?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 96 by to equal 48?Solving 96 Divided by What Equals 48Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:96x=48\frac{96}{x} = 48x96=48The 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 96:96=48∗x96 = 48*x96=48∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 48:9648=x\frac{96}{48} = x4896=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=2.000x = 2.000x=2.000Practice 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 3?19 divided by what equals 56?What is 20/1 divided by 65?What is 3/5 divided by 16/18?What is 59 divided by 13/14?
