8 Divided by What Equals 24?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 24?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 24Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=24\frac{8}{x} = 24x8=24The 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=24∗x8 = 24*x8=24∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 24:824=x\frac{8}{24} = x248=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=0.333x = 0.333x=0.333Practice 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 81 equals 43?77 divided by what equals 45?What is 7/4 divided by 75?What is 20/15 divided by 11/10?What is 99 divided by 6/18?
