68 Divided by What Equals 15?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 68 by to equal 15?Solving 68 Divided by What Equals 15Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:68x=15\frac{68}{x} = 15x68=15The 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 68:68=15∗x68 = 15*x68=15∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 15:6815=x\frac{68}{15} = x1568=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=4.533x = 4.533x=4.533Practice 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 98 equals 63?10 divided by what equals 54?What is 6/7 divided by 61?What is 20/8 divided by 13/4?What is 12 divided by 17/1?
