49 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 49 by to equal 15?Solving 49 Divided by What Equals 15Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:49x=15\frac{49}{x} = 15x49=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 49:49=15∗x49 = 15*x49=15∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 15:4915=x\frac{49}{15} = x1549=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=3.267x = 3.267x=3.267Practice 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 24 equals 70?52 divided by what equals 5?What is 9/2 divided by 23?What is 18/17 divided by 3/13?What is 86 divided by 5/11?
