68 Divided by What Equals 45?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 68 by to equal 45?Solving 68 Divided by What Equals 45Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:68x=45\frac{68}{x} = 45x68=45The 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 68:68=45∗x68 = 45*x68=45∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 45:6845=x\frac{68}{45} = x4568=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=1.511x = 1.511x=1.511Practice 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 66 equals 14?53 divided by what equals 85?What is 6/7 divided by 75?What is 19/10 divided by 15/13?What is 55 divided by 2/3?
