59 Divided by What Equals 65?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 65?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 65Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=65\frac{59}{x} = 65x59=65The 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=65∗x59 = 65*x59=65∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 65:5965=x\frac{59}{65} = x6559=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=0.908x = 0.908x=0.908Practice 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 16 equals 8?57 divided by what equals 39?What is 12/7 divided by 85?What is 6/2 divided by 10/1?What is 96 divided by 3/14?
