49 Divided by What Equals 14?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 49 by to equal 14?Solving 49 Divided by What Equals 14Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:49x=14\frac{49}{x} = 14x49=14The 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 49:49=14∗x49 = 14*x49=14∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 14:4914=x\frac{49}{14} = x1449=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=3.500x = 3.500x=3.500Practice 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 7 equals 74?33 divided by what equals 17?What is 6/1 divided by 20?What is 2/9 divided by 11/16?What is 35 divided by 15/10?
