8 Divided by What Equals 96?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 96?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 96Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=96\frac{8}{x} = 96x8=96The 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=96∗x8 = 96*x8=96∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 96:896=x\frac{8}{96} = x968=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=0.083x = 0.083x=0.083Practice 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 10 equals 26?83 divided by what equals 96?What is 9/2 divided by 50?What is 14/3 divided by 6/11?What is 55 divided by 7/19?
