77 Divided by What Equals 38?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 77 by to equal 38?Solving 77 Divided by What Equals 38Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:77x=38\frac{77}{x} = 38x77=38The 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 77:77=38∗x77 = 38*x77=38∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 38:7738=x\frac{77}{38} = x3877=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=2.026x = 2.026x=2.026Practice 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 59 equals 1?34 divided by what equals 60?What is 14/7 divided by 75?What is 11/15 divided by 1/10?What is 67 divided by 2/8?
