95 Divided by What Equals 42?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 95 by to equal 42?Solving 95 Divided by What Equals 42Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:95x=42\frac{95}{x} = 42x95=42The 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 95:95=42∗x95 = 42*x95=42∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 42:9542=x\frac{95}{42} = x4295=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=2.262x = 2.262x=2.262Practice 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 81 equals 58?41 divided by what equals 5?What is 16/8 divided by 57?What is 2/10 divided by 12/3?What is 55 divided by 17/20?
