49 Divided by What Equals 18?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 49 by to equal 18?Solving 49 Divided by What Equals 18Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:49x=18\frac{49}{x} = 18x49=18The 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 49:49=18∗x49 = 18*x49=18∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 18:4918=x\frac{49}{18} = x1849=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=2.722x = 2.722x=2.722Practice 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 93 equals 5?34 divided by what equals 56?What is 6/4 divided by 89?What is 3/8 divided by 14/1?What is 72 divided by 19/11?
