59 Divided by What Equals 20?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 20?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 20Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=20\frac{59}{x} = 20x59=20The 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=20∗x59 = 20*x59=20∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 20:5920=x\frac{59}{20} = x2059=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=2.950x = 2.950x=2.950Practice 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 89 equals 29?24 divided by what equals 68?What is 20/4 divided by 88?What is 12/1 divided by 8/15?What is 86 divided by 10/9?
