96 Divided by What Equals 88?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 96 by to equal 88?Solving 96 Divided by What Equals 88Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:96x=88\frac{96}{x} = 88x96=88The 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 96:96=88∗x96 = 88*x96=88∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 88:9688=x\frac{96}{88} = x8896=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=1.091x = 1.091x=1.091Practice 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 83 equals 66?61 divided by what equals 76?What is 20/4 divided by 31?What is 14/9 divided by 12/16?What is 46 divided by 8/18?
