59 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 59 by to equal 28?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 28Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=28\frac{59}{x} = 28x59=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 59:59=28∗x59 = 28*x59=28∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 28:5928=x\frac{59}{28} = x2859=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=2.107x = 2.107x=2.107Practice 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 22 equals 25?85 divided by what equals 70?What is 5/4 divided by 34?What is 1/19 divided by 17/3?What is 6 divided by 8/12?
