8 Divided by What Equals 36?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 8 by to equal 36?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 36Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=36\frac{8}{x} = 36x8=36The 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 8:8=36∗x8 = 36*x8=36∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 36:836=x\frac{8}{36} = x368=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=0.222x = 0.222x=0.222Practice 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 94 equals 66?67 divided by what equals 49?What is 18/19 divided by 76?What is 7/11 divided by 9/16?What is 41 divided by 6/15?
