49 Divided by What Equals 70?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 70?Solving 49 Divided by What Equals 70Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:49x=70\frac{49}{x} = 70x49=70The 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=70∗x49 = 70*x49=70∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 70:4970=x\frac{49}{70} = x7049=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=0.700x = 0.700x=0.700Practice 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 91 equals 61?30 divided by what equals 27?What is 4/16 divided by 14?What is 13/3 divided by 9/17?What is 42 divided by 11/15?
