59 Divided by What Equals 45?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 45?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 45Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=45\frac{59}{x} = 45x59=45The 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=45∗x59 = 45*x59=45∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 45:5945=x\frac{59}{45} = x4559=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=1.311x = 1.311x=1.311Practice 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 89 equals 60?4 divided by what equals 79?What is 16/9 divided by 69?What is 17/6 divided by 19/20?What is 37 divided by 8/12?
