92 Divided by What Equals 44?
Methods
Setting 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 92 by to equal 44?
Solving 92 Divided by What Equals 44
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
92
x
=
44
\frac{92}{x} = 44
x 92 = 44
The 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 92:
92
=
44
∗
x
92 = 44*x
92 = 44 ∗ x
Then we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 44:
92
44
=
x
\frac{92}{44} = x
44 92 = x
When 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
=
2.091
x = 2.091
x = 2.091
