58 Divided by What Equals 47?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 58 by to equal 47?Solving 58 Divided by What Equals 47Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:58x=47\frac{58}{x} = 47x58=47The 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 58:58=47∗x58 = 47*x58=47∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 47:5847=x\frac{58}{47} = x4758=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=1.234x = 1.234x=1.234Practice 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 97 equals 56?22 divided by what equals 33?What is 13/16 divided by 53?What is 14/12 divided by 3/19?What is 55 divided by 5/18?
