58 Divided by What Equals 61?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 61?Solving 58 Divided by What Equals 61Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:58x=61\frac{58}{x} = 61x58=61The 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=61∗x58 = 61*x58=61∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 61:5861=x\frac{58}{61} = x6158=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=0.951x = 0.951x=0.951Practice 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 77 equals 23?46 divided by what equals 24?What is 10/9 divided by 4?What is 3/4 divided by 11/17?What is 89 divided by 12/7?
