49 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 49 by to equal 55?Solving 49 Divided by What Equals 55Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:49x=55\frac{49}{x} = 55x49=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 49:49=55∗x49 = 55*x49=55∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 55:4955=x\frac{49}{55} = x5549=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=0.891x = 0.891x=0.891Practice 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 9 equals 46?57 divided by what equals 24?What is 10/5 divided by 29?What is 13/6 divided by 4/18?What is 14 divided by 8/14?
