8 Divided by What Equals 88?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 8 by to equal 88?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 88Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=88\frac{8}{x} = 88x8=88The 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 8:8=88∗x8 = 88*x8=88∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 88:888=x\frac{8}{88} = x888=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=0.091x = 0.091x=0.091Practice 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 61 equals 37?97 divided by what equals 16?What is 19/17 divided by 31?What is 7/3 divided by 2/12?What is 40 divided by 11/18?
