96 Divided by What Equals 98?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 96 by to equal 98?Solving 96 Divided by What Equals 98Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:96x=98\frac{96}{x} = 98x96=98The 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 96:96=98∗x96 = 98*x96=98∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 98:9698=x\frac{96}{98} = x9896=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=0.980x = 0.980x=0.980Practice 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 93 equals 84?43 divided by what equals 38?What is 20/6 divided by 66?What is 12/11 divided by 5/16?What is 23 divided by 14/7?
