9 Divided by What Equals 57?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 9 by to equal 57?Solving 9 Divided by What Equals 57Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:9x=57\frac{9}{x} = 57x9=57The 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 9:9=57∗x9 = 57*x9=57∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 57:957=x\frac{9}{57} = x579=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=0.158x = 0.158x=0.158Practice 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 2 equals 18?49 divided by what equals 98?What is 15/12 divided by 80?What is 2/19 divided by 3/6?What is 51 divided by 1/20?
