68 Divided by What Equals 97?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 68 by to equal 97?Solving 68 Divided by What Equals 97Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:68x=97\frac{68}{x} = 97x68=97The 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 68:68=97∗x68 = 97*x68=97∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 97:6897=x\frac{68}{97} = x9768=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=0.701x = 0.701x=0.701Practice 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 75 equals 56?71 divided by what equals 8?What is 8/7 divided by 54?What is 10/2 divided by 14/17?What is 26 divided by 5/6?
