9 Divided by What Equals 64?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 9 by to equal 64?Solving 9 Divided by What Equals 64Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:9x=64\frac{9}{x} = 64x9=64The 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 9:9=64∗x9 = 64*x9=64∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 64:964=x\frac{9}{64} = x649=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=0.141x = 0.141x=0.141Practice 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 51 equals 80?88 divided by what equals 20?What is 11/17 divided by 15?What is 8/19 divided by 2/4?What is 66 divided by 3/14?
