8 Divided by What Equals 68?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 68?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 68Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=68\frac{8}{x} = 68x8=68The 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=68∗x8 = 68*x8=68∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 68:868=x\frac{8}{68} = x688=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=0.118x = 0.118x=0.118Practice 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 62 equals 96?22 divided by what equals 20?What is 7/2 divided by 32?What is 15/3 divided by 18/12?What is 65 divided by 13/16?
