96 Divided by What Equals 59?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 59?Solving 96 Divided by What Equals 59Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:96x=59\frac{96}{x} = 59x96=59The 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=59∗x96 = 59*x96=59∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 59:9659=x\frac{96}{59} = x5996=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=1.627x = 1.627x=1.627Practice 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 11 equals 77?6 divided by what equals 51?What is 10/19 divided by 67?What is 17/1 divided by 6/2?What is 43 divided by 15/16?
