58 Divided by What Equals 46?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 46?Solving 58 Divided by What Equals 46Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:58x=46\frac{58}{x} = 46x58=46The 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=46∗x58 = 46*x58=46∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 46:5846=x\frac{58}{46} = x4658=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=1.261x = 1.261x=1.261Practice 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 42 equals 63?91 divided by what equals 69?What is 12/6 divided by 60?What is 5/18 divided by 1/2?What is 86 divided by 9/20?
