8 Divided by What Equals 60?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 60?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 60Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=60\frac{8}{x} = 60x8=60The 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=60∗x8 = 60*x8=60∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 60:860=x\frac{8}{60} = x608=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=0.133x = 0.133x=0.133Practice 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 67 equals 45?2 divided by what equals 68?What is 17/14 divided by 76?What is 5/13 divided by 18/15?What is 95 divided by 20/3?
