59 Divided by What Equals 33?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 59 by to equal 33?Solving 59 Divided by What Equals 33Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:59x=33\frac{59}{x} = 33x59=33The 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 59:59=33∗x59 = 33*x59=33∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 33:5933=x\frac{59}{33} = x3359=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=1.788x = 1.788x=1.788Practice 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 76 equals 39?13 divided by what equals 22?What is 14/7 divided by 27?What is 19/4 divided by 6/5?What is 33 divided by 15/20?
