8 Divided by What Equals 52?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 52?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 52Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=52\frac{8}{x} = 52x8=52The 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=52∗x8 = 52*x8=52∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 52:852=x\frac{8}{52} = x528=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=0.154x = 0.154x=0.154Practice 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 26 equals 12?51 divided by what equals 87?What is 15/20 divided by 23?What is 3/14 divided by 19/10?What is 66 divided by 18/2?
