59 Divided by What Equals 24?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 24?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 24Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=24\frac{59}{x} = 24x59=24The 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=24∗x59 = 24*x59=24∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 24:5924=x\frac{59}{24} = x2459=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=2.458x = 2.458x=2.458Practice 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 35 equals 10?44 divided by what equals 14?What is 8/2 divided by 50?What is 3/19 divided by 13/11?What is 65 divided by 16/15?
