9 Divided by What Equals 61?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 61?Solving 9 Divided by What Equals 61Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:9x=61\frac{9}{x} = 61x9=61The 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=61∗x9 = 61*x9=61∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 61:961=x\frac{9}{61} = x619=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=0.148x = 0.148x=0.148Practice 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 71 equals 47?66 divided by what equals 17?What is 15/12 divided by 90?What is 14/20 divided by 11/19?What is 65 divided by 6/17?
