48 Divided by What Equals 6?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 48 by to equal 6?Solving 48 Divided by What Equals 6Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:48x=6\frac{48}{x} = 6x48=6The 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 48:48=6∗x48 = 6*x48=6∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 6:486=x\frac{48}{6} = x648=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=8.000x = 8.000x=8.000Practice 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 41 equals 3?99 divided by what equals 20?What is 4/8 divided by 18?What is 11/20 divided by 19/1?What is 87 divided by 5/10?
