8 Divided by What Equals 34?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 34?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 34Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=34\frac{8}{x} = 34x8=34The 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=34∗x8 = 34*x8=34∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 34:834=x\frac{8}{34} = x348=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=0.235x = 0.235x=0.235Practice 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 88 equals 21?47 divided by what equals 84?What is 20/7 divided by 75?What is 4/1 divided by 18/9?What is 43 divided by 13/12?
