77 Divided by What Equals 47?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 77 by to equal 47?Solving 77 Divided by What Equals 47Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:77x=47\frac{77}{x} = 47x77=47The 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 77:77=47∗x77 = 47*x77=47∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 47:7747=x\frac{77}{47} = x4777=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=1.638x = 1.638x=1.638Practice 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 46 equals 95?10 divided by what equals 27?What is 7/16 divided by 55?What is 5/13 divided by 1/6?What is 83 divided by 12/4?
