57 Divided by What Equals 92?
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 57 by to equal 92?
Solving 57 Divided by What Equals 92
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
57
x
=
92
\frac{57}{x} = 92
x 57 = 92
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 57:
57
=
92
∗
x
57 = 92*x
57 = 92 ∗ x
Then we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 92:
57
92
=
x
\frac{57}{92} = x
92 57 = 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
=
0.620
x = 0.620
x = 0.620
