59 Divided by What Equals 97?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 59 by to equal 97?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 97Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=97\frac{59}{x} = 97x59=97The 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 59:59=97∗x59 = 97*x59=97∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 97:5997=x\frac{59}{97} = x9759=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=0.608x = 0.608x=0.608Practice 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 58 equals 56?25 divided by what equals 89?What is 11/9 divided by 41?What is 20/17 divided by 13/12?What is 9 divided by 2/6?
