49 Divided by What Equals 73?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 73?Solving 49 Divided by What Equals 73Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:49x=73\frac{49}{x} = 73x49=73The 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=73∗x49 = 73*x49=73∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 73:4973=x\frac{49}{73} = x7349=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=0.671x = 0.671x=0.671Practice 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 79 equals 22?26 divided by what equals 76?What is 11/6 divided by 98?What is 8/7 divided by 9/16?What is 80 divided by 14/2?
