68 Divided by What Equals 82?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 82?Solving 68 Divided by What Equals 82Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:68x=82\frac{68}{x} = 82x68=82The 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=82∗x68 = 82*x68=82∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 82:6882=x\frac{68}{82} = x8268=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=0.829x = 0.829x=0.829Practice 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 49 equals 67?2 divided by what equals 98?What is 3/19 divided by 9?What is 15/13 divided by 7/4?What is 70 divided by 9/10?
