49 Divided by What Equals 28?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 49 by to equal 28?Solving 49 Divided by What Equals 28Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:49x=28\frac{49}{x} = 28x49=28The 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 49:49=28∗x49 = 28*x49=28∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 28:4928=x\frac{49}{28} = x2849=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=1.750x = 1.750x=1.750Practice 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 42?71 divided by what equals 48?What is 14/4 divided by 96?What is 19/10 divided by 12/7?What is 39 divided by 17/13?
